The Guilty Course

Sugarbury Falls Mysteries, Book 7

By: Diane Weiner

Narrated by: Naomi Rose-Mock

Emily Fox wonders how far her husband Henry will go to protect their adopted daughter from her felonious father. Henry storms into a rented bungalow ready to confront the man, but instead finds him shot dead on the bathroom floor! Emily protests the arrest, but when she learns Henry owned a gun and discovers it’s now missing, doubts begin to creep in.

Henry is convinced the murderer is one of the plaintiffs in a recent law suit against the victim, but when his daughter’s hair tie is found near the gun’s empty lock box and a witness places her at the murder scene, Henry confesses to the murder. It’s up to Emily, an inexperienced defense attorney, and an unconventional private investigator to prove Henry’s innocence before his guilty course ends in a life sentence.

Another Great Sugarbury Falls mystery!

This is the 7th book in Diane Weiner’s Sugarbury Falls series and the story of Emily, Henry and Maddy (et al.) continues. The books don’t have to be read in order because the stories have sufficient background. I loved this book. There are several story lines along with the main story and the twists and turns kept me guessing until the end. The narration by Naomi Rose-Mock is wonderful! The characters have their own voices and the her performance of the characters is great! I can’t wait to listen to / read another in the series.

roller coaster of mystery

I listened to an audio version of this book. The narrator did a wonderful job relating this story. I finished it in one day. I normally listen to audio books while I work out but I continued listened until I was done.

The roller coaster ride was worth the price of admission. I wasn’t sure who did it until just before the reveal.

Looking forward to the next installment.
