White Lies in Wisconsin

Cooper Smith

By: Joe Field

Narrated by: Mark Whitfield

When the governor of Wisconsin’s mistress is found dead of apparent suicide, a long-time political operative sets off a chain of events across the state in his quest for the governor’s throne in Madison. For Minnesota Public Radio reporter Cooper Smith, this is more than a hot story—the governor’s mistress was his coworker, and he suspects foul play.

Dismissed by law enforcement, Smith makes it his personal mission to resolve the woman’s death and figure out who is behind all of the chaos in the Badger State—all the while trying to make it out before someone turns him into sliced cheddar.

A great listen

Book 3 in the series but definitely can be read as a standalone novel.
Cooper isn't a cop or PI he's a reporter. And solving a colleague's suspicious death isn't straightforward.
Lazy cops, corrupt politicians and a college shooting all collude to muddy the waters.
A great storyline well crafted and with superb narration. Make this an easy listen.
