The Thanksgiving Day Murder (by Lee Harris)

THE THANKSGIVING DAY MURDER by Lee Harris (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

More than a year ago, Natalie Gordon disappeared at a Thanksgiving Day parade. Investigators still have no leads. When ex-nun Christine Bennett investigates her past—a life someone has tried very had to erase—she discovers a cast of characters so chilling that murder seems not only inevitable, but likely to happen again.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Audie®-winning narrator, Susan OMalley. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

A well-crafted novel of detection…Susan O’Malley narrates this puzzling mystery in a straightforward, no-frills style…Her spare style matches the characteristics of her detective, Chris Bennet Brooks…who approaches the task of finding out what happened in a painstaking, no-nonsense manner, which is interesting but not melodramatic.

More than a year ago, Natalie Gordon went to buy a balloon at the Thanksgiving Day parade and dissolved into thin air. The police and a private investigator still have no leads. So when Natalie’s despairing husband pleads with ex-nun Christine Bennett to help, she can’t say no.
Not only are Natalie’s present whereabouts a mystery but so is her past. Someone has stripped her personnel file in her old office. Even her husband knows strangely little about her. Starting with a cardboard box of Natalie’s belongings—a few books, keys, some cosmetics—Christy searches for a life someone has tried very had to erase and finds a cast of characters so chilling that murder seems not only inevitable, but likely to happen again.
