We Planned a Murder

One Murder. Five Suspects. And One of Them Is Next

By: Derek Wheeless

Narrated by: TJ Clark

On the verge of wasting his life in the crooked Texas town of Ten Spot, 17-year-old Nacho Blanco meets Zadie Abernathy and sets out to prove her innocence in the murder of the local psychiatrist. Nacho wants nothing more than to brush the dust of his two-bit hometown from his life, and finding the murderer of Lincoln Hardcastle might be just the ticket to punch his future elsewhere. Solving the mystery means he'll have to play both ends against the middle, representing the beauty who is counting on him to save her life, and the conspiracy that wants to end it. But when his friend is attacked, and with his own future on the line, Nacho must learn that the secret to happiness is going all in no matter the costs as he determines to find the murderer before he, or she, kills again.

A good time

This was a fun story. I had a good time listening to it. There were a lot of characters and a lot of details to keep up with, but it was an enjoyable ride. The narrator did a nice job giving a voice to all of the many characters. Hope there is a sequel.

Great story

Loved it. The main character was a high school student but it felt like he was a 2 pack a day, whiskey drinking, grumby because life has given him nothing but lemons 45 year old, but it worked. Narration and the story were excellent.

very interesting

I didn't see it coming. Everytime I thought I knew who it was things changed. I enjoyed the twists and turns. At one point or another most of them looked guilty, but looks can be deceiving. Nacho was excellent at deduction for the most part, but was blinded by some parts. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job.
