About this listen

SHE’S A TOUGH CRIME REPORTER IN A LEAGUE OF HEAVY HITTERS. BUT THAT’S OKAY— SHE KNOWS HOW TO PLAY HARDBALL …

Jessica James has a nose for a good story, but she isn’t sure how much she likes the story she’s getting from her mother’s charming, handsome new beau with the improbable name of Charlie Browne. Especially since the tale is attached to the Hare—a stolen painting that is now hidden under Jesse’s own bed.

Jesse’s investigation into Charlie's background turns up a hole big enough to smuggle the Mona Lisa through, which has her worried about her romantic, not-altogether-practical mom. And for good reason—in a few short days, Kate James has gotten herself entangled in art theft, bashed over the head by a burglar, and involved in a tête-à-tête with a murderer.

Now Jesse must crack a stolen art ring and solve two murders—one forty years old and one all too recent—before the killer paints another masterpiece in scarlet.

The author obviously likes punning his characters' names, the central character is Jessica (Jesse) James and her mother's new boyfriend is Charlie Browne. I haven't read the first two books, so I still don't really feel that I understand Jesse, she is a very complex and contradictory personality.
In this story Jesse's mum and Charlie turn up at Jesse's apartment with a valuable, but stolen, painting. There follows an exciting adventure which involves Charlie being charged with murder.
Their are lots of good characters in the story, not all of whom turn out to be what they originally appeared to be. The narration is very good with each character having their own voice.

Enjoyable mystery

Hare Today, Gone Tomorrow is another great listen from the pen of Meg O'Brien. Fast paced we meet the regulars from earlier books in the series as Jessica goes hunting for clues to solve the mystery of stolen paintings and murder. Cathi Colas does a great job of the narrating keeping the story alive. Highly Recommended listen.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the narrator and leave this honest review.

Jessica James.
