A MATTER OF TRUST

Wiehl and Henry introduce their new series featuring Mia Quinn, a recently widowed federal prosecutor in Seattle. The first-person story includes cutting-edge investigative techniques of murder and of online bullying that has led to a teen suicide. Narrator Eleni Pappageorge captures Mia's struggles with grief, single parenting, and the discovery of her husband's secret financial devastation. The antagonism between Mia and Charlie, the homicide detective assigned to the investigation, is delivered with a subtle humor and sensitivity that suggests a potential romance later in the series. Pappageorge's depiction of Gabe, Mia's teenage son, who is torn between the confusion of grief and wanting to belong, is insightful and true to life. Her versatile range and vocal skills perfectly render a gripping suspense with a completely unexpected ending. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2013]
