Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Elaine Viets is proof that non-professional doesn't necessarily mean un-professional. Listeners may be accustomed to the best audiobooks being read by polished theatrical voices. It takes only an utterance to recognize that Viets's voice is not that of a seasoned actor, but rather that of an expert storyteller. Listening to Viets read her own works is a delight, especially with a story as outrageous as her first novel, Backstab, in which newsroom politics collide with urban renovations and transvestite beauty pageants. It gets personal for the columnist turned sleuth when, after receiving a series of neo-Nazi hate letters, two of her closest friends are murdered.

Product Description
BACK STAB is a mystery about the newspaper business--which has always been murder. Now someone is killing off readers, and the St. Louis City Gazette can't afford to lose circulation.



Gazette columnist Francesca Vierling takes these deaths personally--reliable sources are hard to find--and Francesca's search for the killer takes her into the strange side streets of St. Louis, including a visit to the Miss Gender Bender Pageant, a beauty contest for female impersonators. Along the way Francesca must determine if her own blood soaked past is clouding her view of the future.
