9 compact discs. Edna Buchanan, best-selling author and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, writes novels that crackle with action, suspense, and street-smart wit. When she released the first mystery featuring Britt Montero, a quirky and abrasive Miami newpaper reporter, fans across the country clamored for more. Margin of Error joins Suitable for Framing and Act of Betrayal in this popular series. On the streets of Miami, where herds of celebrities and criminals roam at large, sometimes it's difficult for Britt to tell the preditors from the prey, especially since she met Lance Westfell. A film superstar, he has joined her on the job to research a role in his latest film, Margin of Error. With his well-known face, he draws unpredictable crowds wherever they go. But when a staged explosion on the movie set misfires, killing a technician who was standing in for Lance, Britt suspects that there's someone who wants to make drastic changes to the ending of Margin of Error, at least for the star. Join Brett and her handsome companion as they race to find the killer before the shooting stops. Narrator Barbara Caruso's reading captures all of Britt Montero's bravado and her growing fascination with Lance.

This review is from: Margin of Error (Bookcassette(r) Edition) (Audio Cassette)

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.

This review is from: Margin of Error (Paperback)

Brett Montero awakens to the smell of gunpowder, the residue of memory of a horrible night. She knows following her beat and writing her stories is the best therapy for recovery from the past, but somehow her subconscious will not listen.

Her beloved Miami is slowly recovering from the devastating effects of a hurricane. To garner the exotic a real movie star is about the begin an action film, the first shot in the city since the storm.

Miami has two sides, the playground and the underworld where danger lurks around every corner, it isn't a place for the unwary.

This review is from: Margin of Error (Hardcover)

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.
