By: Karen Fritz

Narrated by: Bailey Carr

When three middle-aged women, all residents of the new Brookville Condominiums, meet for the first time, they’re standing over a corpse discovered at their beautiful new complex. Worried there may be a killer on the loose, the self-named Lady Dragons of Brookville combine their talents to uncover the killer. But when unidentified graves are discovered near their small community, the ladies realize they’re hunting a serial killer, and any one of them could be next.

Three Musketeers!…er, Lady Dragons!

This long-awaited new Karen Fritz novel is finally here! This was a fun read, with well-drawn characters, an intriguing mystery, and edge of your seat scenes too. After I started the story, I knew my husband would love it, so I started it over to listen to it together. We both chuckled and laughed, although not always at the same places. There were places where I could not possibly have stopped listening and gone to bed! I could picture the characters “committing” the action so clearly — this would make a great movie! I loved the three very different protagonists, especially Martha, and the interchange between the dragons and Nelson. In the very best mystery style, Ms. Fritz gives readers the clues necessary to solve the mystery — one of us solved the mystery and one of us didn’t. It took me a little time to adjust to the reader’s style, but after I did, I really enjoyed her performance and the way she distinguished the voices of the different characters. I hope there are more stories about the lady dragons soon. I will definitely read or listen to them!
