The Trophy Exchange

A Lucinda Pierce Mystery, Book 1

By: Diane Fanning

Narrated by: Flora Plumb

Life’s been tough for Lieutenant Lucinda Pierce. She lost an eye and disfigured her face responding to a domestic violence call. She accidentally killed a small child in the middle of a shoot-out with his father.

Now, she’s up against a serial killer and her main suspect is a highly respected doctor known for his international relief work.

It’s a good thing she doesn’t mind bending the rules.

Critic reviews

"Fanning ( Bite the Moon) provides plenty of forensic details, plot twists, and suspense. Though this near-perfect police procedural is not for the faint of heart, readers who like Kate Flora and Alex Kava will put it on their reserve lists. Highly recommended." ( Library Journal)

"Fanning has produced an exciting, emotionally intense story with a complex heroine whose future adventures will be widely anticipated." ( Kirkus Reviews)

"We all know by now that I'm a mystery lover and have read more than my fair share of books in this genre. So when I shout out '5 Stars' at the top of my lungs for Diane Fanning's The Trophy Exchange it is with extreme enthusiasm. Every now and then you encounter a book that just speaks to you. You can't put it down, you run the gamut of emotions from anger to fear to elation so intensely that you feel as if you are riding in the front pocket of the narrator." (book-club-queen.com)

Great Listen

Would you consider the audio edition of The Trophy Exchange to be better than the print version?

One could feel the emotion associated with Lucinda's decisions.....her past experiences really influenced her behavior.......Charlie's voice spoke lourder than many of her words......

Have you listened to any of Flora Plumb’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes,.....I usually listen before bedtime....my bedtime became earlier, and earlier....the dog walks longer and longer

Any additional comments?

Will look for other listens in the series

engaging story and protagonist

I liked the strong and capable Lucinda Pierce. The book is well plotted and thoughtful while keeping up a lively pace. I will look for other Lucinda Pierce mysteries.
