Murder Unleashed

Written by Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown

Narrated by Johanna Parker

Mags Rogers and her wire-haired dachshund, Baxter, dig up the dirt in the second scintillating novel from New York Times best-selling author Rita Mae Brown's delightful series. The foreclosure crisis has hit hard in Reno, Nevada, where rows of homes sit unsold and forsaken. When a former banker is found murdered in one of the abandoned homes, the notion of cutthroat business practices takes on a whole new meaning.

Reviews for Murder Unleashed

[jalenv_2 · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I didn't finish even the first CD of Murder Unleashed before returning the book to the library. The opening chapters, with a Nevada realtor who actually wanted to help the homeless individuals and families squatting in foreclosed homes, was interesting. I already knew that Ms. Brown tends to preach to the readers through the characters' dialog in her mysteries. I believe in taking personal responsibility too, so Jeep Reed pontificating on that subject was bearable. When she started blathering about too much government regulation and the Wall Street Crash of 2008 with no apparent realization that greater government regulation, not the DE-regulation of the banks in the 1980s, could have prevented it, I couldn't take it anymore. Ms. Reed, haven't massive oil spills, gas leaks, pollution, and persons being hospitalized or dying from eating contaminated food , etc. been enough to show you that stronger enforcement of regulations are what we need? (I didn't include the lead-contaminated water in Flint, Michigan and the state government's attempts to cover it up even though children were suffering from lead poisoning, because the water source switch to save a relatively insignificant amount of money didn't happen until 2014. This book came out in 2011. It might be an interesting murder mystery, but I wasn't willing to put up with Jeep Reed to find out.
