Dangerous Habits

Leah Nash Mysteries, Book 1

By: Susan Hunter

Narrated by: Amy Dannenmueller

A deadly secret. A relentless reporter. A truth that might be better left buried.

In the small town of Himmel, Wisconsin, reporter Leah Nash is scraping by, working again at the local paper that she left a decade ago. But when a torrential storm reveals a gruesome secret—a dead nun from the local school for troubled kids—Leah's quiet life is shattered.

Sister Mattea was no ordinary nun. She had deep secrets that no one knew. Secrets that might connect the nun’s suspicious death with the tragic accident that took Leah's sister Lacey’s life at the same school years ago.

As Leah delves deeper, she uncovers a web of deceit, corruption, and danger entangling the school's charismatic leaders, wealthy donors, and even her own boss. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes that her sister’s death was no accident, and the nun’s death was no random event.

As Leah gets closer to the shocking truth, she becomes the killer’s next target. With every powerful enemy she makes, she doesn’t know who she can trust anymore. As she races against time, she must answer one crucial question: Is she willing to risk her life for a truth that could bring her own world crashing down?

In Dangerous Habits, the first book in the Leah Nash Mystery Series, Susan Hunter weaves a complex tale of betrayal, vengeance, and a silence that can't last forever. Great for fans of Lisa Gardner and Karin Slaughter.

Critic reviews

"...[A] twisty tale that keeps readers guessing right up to the heart-stopping climax.” (Shannon Baker, author of the Kate Fox Mystery Series)

The narrator is fantastic!

The narrator does an amazing job telling the story. So much so that I was content with flaws in the storyline.

Dangerous Habits by Susan Hunter Narrated by Any Dannenmueller

This was a riveting story, hard to put down. I was really surprised at the ending. I really enjoyed listening to the narrator.

Fine mystery

This is the first book I’ve read by Susan Hunter, but it won’t be the last. The female protagonist is realistic, filled with an impulsive and curious nature, working for the local paper when she is given a note that sets her on a collision course with murder, a sex ring, and local residents who are quirky and kind.

Great reading. could not put it down. Plot twist.

3 plots in one. Narrator was so good , pleasant voice. I will recommend to friends.

An excellent narration of great mystery

I was concerned that the audiobook would not match up to how I heard the characters in my mind while reading the book, but the narrator, Amy Dannenmueller, did an great job. I was especially impressed with her Leah Nash, the flawed protagonist of this compelling, well-written mystery. Hopefully there will be other audiobooks of the Leah Nash mystery series narrated by Ms. Dannenmueller, she is wonderfully talented.
