"In close-knit Posadas County, where everyone knows everyone's business, it turns out that some people can bury secrets, and some secrets are murderous."―Kirkus Reviews
It's Christmas in Posadas County. Undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman is settling down to a quiet evening with her family, until her doctor husband gets a call from the retired chief-of-police: he's at a nearby motel, having pains. Then Estelle gets a call herself. She and ex-Sheriff Bill Gastner, who was visiting the Guzman home at the time, arrive at the motel parking lot. It appears that Eduardo had an exchange with two men and then collapsed, the men taking off in his car. An out-of-town couple, the woman on the verge of giving birth, were the only ones to witness the encounter, but something seems off in their story. This is the fourteenth in Havill's Posadas County mysteries.

Steven F. Havill lives with his wife of more than forty years, Kathleen, in New Mexico. He is the author of more than twenty novels, taught secondary schools for 25 years, and recently earned an AAS degree in gunsmithing.
Stephanie Brush narrates this fourth entry in Havill's Posadas County series. Under-sheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman balances domestic life at Christmas with the demands of solving the murder of a deputy's fiancée, as well as identifying the perpetrator of a brutal attack on the former sheriff. Brush's clear voice demonstrates intense emotion and highlights the suspense involved in this intriguing mystery. While female voices are her strength, she noticeably struggles to find unique, believable male voices. But her Spanish pronunciations are easy to understand, managing to project warmth and caring when Estelle speaks to her family. Havill and Brush team up effectively to evoke daily life in small town New Mexico. S.C.A. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
