Dead Wrong

By: J. A. Jance

Narrated by: Susan Ericksen

Juggling a family and a career is never easy—and it's becoming a real challenge for Sheriff Joanna Brady. Coping with the impending delivery of her second child as well as a staff shortage, the last things Joanna needs are two serious crimes.

First, the body of an unidentified man is found in the desert, all of his fingers savagely severed. Following the scant clues, Joanna learns that the victim was an ex-con who had served twenty years in prison after confessing to the murder of his pregnant wife. During his last days he was seen following and photographing a young woman.

Then one of Joanna's officers is brutally attacked while on an unauthorized stakeout. Because the officer is one of it's own, the department throws its resources into finding her attacker. But the murder haunts Joanna. Being a sheriff has become what she is and she'll risk everything to see that justice is done.

Pronunciation

There were several pronunciation errors throughout this narrative. An example was Joanna’s father’s last name “Lathrop”. It was pronounced with a hard “a” sound, a soft “a” sound, and with an “n” “Lanthrop”. This time around the word Pasty was pronounced properly. This sounds picky, but when it is a word repeated frequently throughout the narrative it becomes annoying.

Not impressed with the reader

Good book but the reader tried to attach accents and attitudes in a ‘hammy’ way.

pronunciation is everything

the reader should listen to the other books to make sure the names are properly pronounced. old school English is always best. it`s "Laythrrope" not "Latthtope", "Hymie" not "Jamie" and "Herfords", not "Heffords".

Brady Rules The Desert

One of the better Brady novels. Included a good mystery, more growth in the family, etc. Some mispronunciations with the new narrator. But, she’s better than the last.

Don’t pass by the ranch. Stop and read this one. If you have made it this far in the series, you shouldn’t stop now. I actually think this is one of Brady’s best outings. I hope the series continues for awhile more.
