About this listen
“When the young man parked his restored Trans-Am in front of our office and walked in, I knew I had a choice. I could either hide behind the do-nothing assignments that my new partner had relegated me to, or I could deal with this guy’s problem. I dealt.”
That brash decision lands Pegasus Quincy in the midst of a hostile murder situation. She alienates her new partner and almost gets him killed. She ignores regulations and jeopardizes an ongoing investigation.
Just when she thinks things couldn’t get worse - they do! She encounters the Nettle family: an insanely jealous wife, a banished son, and a sister whose little girl has been traumatized by an explosion at the illicit family whiskey still. Don’t forget the seven-month pregnant mistress, either. All have good reason to kill the patriarch and nobody's talking.
Peg is furious when her own life is threatened. But somehow, she must discover who killed old man Nettle before it is too late!

Written in the first person as seen through the eyes of Pegassus, know as Peg, this is more the story of small town interpersonal relationships and rivalries than a police procedural, and traces the growth of understanding of Peg herself. The story has a reality about it, despite the somewhat unorthodox scenario, and is an enjoyzble, immersive read. There is humour too, with occasional delicious little comedy vignettes such as Peg's attempts to give medicine to a tiny cat named Fluffy. Narration by Amy Otteson is good: her reading well paced and modulated and she makes an excellent Peg. Surviving of the other female characters is also individually distinct but she lacks the timbre to full voice the male protagonists, unfortunately. Still, a good performance overa!l.
My thanks to the rights holder of Blood in Tavasci Mash, who, at my fequest, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. This was not exactly the book I had been expecting but was, nevertheless, very enjoyable. Recommended to readers who enjoy small town quirky characters with a little light policing and personal angst also added to the background murder mystery.
Family has got to stick together.
