Margin of Error

I listen to audio books while doing housework. I found this one to be different and interesting. Which is hard to find when you read as much as I do. The ending was totally predictable, but it was still a fun, easy read. I'm glad they didn't end up together, it would have never worked and made the story more realistic that way. Go for MacDonald, Britt!!!

Truly the author has tied up all the necessary components in this novel set in a Miami that is beautifully diagrammed. Britt, a crime reporter, has her back up most the time but slides into a more human role about halfway into the book. The story weaves through the setting, crimes and a movie in a starkly lovely way, meeting some pretty weird folks. A bit different, but a good tight story. I listened to the unabridged audio, and thought the reader was well suited to the Britt character and did an admirable job on voice changes as well.

If you know Miami this one has it all - beaches, the everglades, parties, a movie crew, gangs, drive-bys, sex and murder for hire. A quick read with characters you might have met. Britt makes a case for reporters who care about the victim, too bad she's fictional.
