Bootlegger’s Daughter Audiobook (Free)

Using a steamy Southern plot and a sassy new heroine, this Edgar Award winning novel debuts an exceptional new series. Attorney Deborah Knott is usually North Carolina’s answer to V.We. Warshawski, a legal sleuth using a knack for sniffing out probably the most baffling crimes. Deborah has just done the unthinkable-entered the warmed competition for judge of old-boy-ruled Colleton Region. The only female candidate, she’s active reeling in voters and giving advertising campaign speeches. There couldn’t be a worse period for Gayle Whitehead to beg Deborah to research the 18-year-old, unsolved murder of Gayle’s mother, Janie. Gayle wants the busy lawyer to poke around for any new clues the authorities may have skipped each one of these years. Unlikely, thinks Deborah; until she discovers that not all the facts of Janie’s case managed to get out of private police files. Filled up with the patter of Southern voices and populated with a solid of colorful heroes, Bootlegger’s Daughter expertly unwinds a funny, cunningly-crafted tale of secret and deceit in North Carolina’s backwoods.
