The Red Chameleon

By: Erica Wright

Narrated by: Rachel Dulude

As a private investigator, Kathleen Stone relies on her ability to blend into the background. Aided by her street-smart drag queen friend and the best wigmaker in New York City, she feels confident that her camouflage is up to snuff. But when a cheating spouse she's been trailing endsup dead under suspicious circumstances, she fears that someone she angered in her past job - busting gangs and drug dealers as an undercover cop - has seen through her disguises. Now she must work with her former colleagues in the NYPD to solve the case before she's the next victim.

A love letter to New York

This is one of those books where the city is a character in and of itself. I tend to love a story where the plucky heroine solves the murder of the guy no one cares is dead, and this fits perfectly into the niche genre. If you like a little action, a fun mystery, and lovable characters you will love this book. I am looking forward to the next one in the Kathleen/Kate/Kat/Kiki series.

flat

it seemed like the story should have been more interesting, but the narration was flat and uninspired such that it was hard to tell. i haven't listened to many audiobooks yet, but this was the least engaging by far.
