About this listen
Pegasus Quincy, a rookie deputy on temporary assignment in a sleepy mountain town, expects a quiet summer citing jaywalkers and writing traffic tickets. Fate intervenes when a dead body turns up in an old copper mining pit.
The man is a three-time loser disowned by even his own mother. Peg’s sheriff boss declares the death an accident and tells her to “move on”. She wants to agree, but then her office is ransacked and her assistant kidnapped.
When Peg herself is assaulted, she convinces her safe-cracking grandfather to break the law one last time to help her. Will they find the killer before he strikes again?
Set against the Southwest backdrop of summer monsoons in the high desert plateau of Arizona, this fast-paced mystery, at times humorous and romantic, tells the story of a young woman at odds with herself.
Peg must ultimately decide which comes first: her family, her job, or her life.
Book 1 of the Pegasus Quincy Mystery Series.

The other part of the mystery was more of a continuation: how old was the narrator aiming for as she read the book to us? Don t get me wrong: the narrator, Amy Otteson was excellent, her reading fluent and with feeling, her voicing s for each of the various protagonists individual and occasionally excentric. She was good, very good, but the impression.was of a woman in her forties, not a young girl in her first ever job.
So I am at a loss as to how to score thisv. As previously mentioned, the narration was a good performance and, isolated, deserves a 5. Elements of the story are also very funny, as, for example, a birthday party held for the grandfather, and the visual representation of the place and characterisation of the protagonists - I might not like them but they are well done - also worthy of at least a 4. But the overall story? No, didn't work for me: the book had.to keep judging me back to the murder mystery at it's heart. So, what to score?
I guess it had better be a four
My thanks to the rights holder who,at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy of Death in Copper Town, via Audiobook Boom. A strange book: the characters were very real, yet the story too hard to believe. The narration good, but the (first ) person for whom the narration was being spoken, was the wrong person. Oh, I don't know. Listen to it yourself and see what you think.
