Deadly stakes [sound recording] : a novel / J. A. Jance.
Summary:
"In Deadly Stakes, police academy-trained former reporter Ali Reynolds is contacted to investigate the grisly murder of a gold-digging divorcee on behalf of a woman accused of the crime. Lynn Martinson is dating the dead woman’s ex-husband, and she and her boyfriend Chip Ralston have been charged. Ali is simultaneously drawn to the case of A.J. Sanders, a frightened teen with secrets of his own. He’s the first to find the body in the Camp Verde desert when he goes to retrieve a mysterious buried box hidden by his absent father—a box that turns out to be filled with hundreds of thousands of dollars in poker chips. When the body of an ex-con is discovered near the first crime scene, Ali struggles to determine if A.J. and Lynn’s cases are related. Though her friends in the police department grow increasingly irritated by her involvement with the cases, Ali must stop a deadly killer from claiming another victim…before she herself is lost in this game of deadly stakes."--Amazon.ca.

Jance's book is filled with colorful characters, and has some thrilling moments. But it is also has some scenes that defy believability and dialogue that borders on the tedious. This type of story is one that can succeed or fail due to the skill of the narrator, and Karen Ziemba's performance demonstrates how important a reader is. Ziemba is comfortable with the story, which features Ali Reynolds's investigation of a gruesome murder. Reynolds must prove that Lynn Martinson, who is dating the victim's ex-husband, and her boyfriend Chip Ralston, are innocent. The book has its ups and downs, but Ziemba's steady delivery keeps the story flowing. D.J.S. (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
