Sudden Exposure: A Jill Smith Mystery

Written by Susan Dunlap

Narrated by Margot Kidder

From best-selling author Susan Dunlap comes this wry, indecently entertaining mystery involving politics, murder - and nudity. Where else but in Berkeley, California would naked protesters, competing health clubs, and ex-sixties radicals add up to murder? And who else would find herself smack in the middle of this crisis than back-on-the-beat detective Jill Smith, the beloved protagonist of eight Susan Dunlap mysteries?

Enjoyed reading about life in Berkeley. This was my first and it's the ninth in the series, so I felt I was missing something. The mystery was decent.
