I listened to The Walls, by Hollie Overton, read by Therese Plummer. I didn't like Overton's first book, Baby Doll, but I decided to give her another chance, and this book was a definite improvement. The heroine--who is extremely annoying and wimpy--works in the press office of the Texas prison system, where her job requires her to interact with death row inmates and witness executions. So when she decides to commit a murder, she knows a lot about what not to do.
There really aren't any thriller-ish twists or surprises here, and not a lot of suspense beyond whether she'll be able to commit the perfect crime, but I liked it anyway.
