Acerca de esta escucha

Born into a family of thieves, Wendy Winkworth becomes a private investigator because "you don't go to jail if you're caught." In 1950, 24-year old Wendy is hired by the mobster/owner of the Star Spangled Girls Baseball League to infiltrate the Burton City Hornettes and find the murderer of its star pitcher, a blonde bombshell of amazing physical powers and influence. First problem: Wendy's not much of a ballplayer. Second: She finds that lust, jealousy, greed, and deception are as much a part of the roster as she is. Then another body turns up. Somewhere out there a cold-blooded killer is taking practice swings with a Louisville slugger destined for Wendy's skull.

When I picked up "The Stray Pitch" by Marilyn Bos, I wasn't sure what to expect from a mystery set against the backdrop of women's professional baseball in 1950. What I discovered was a delightfully engaging whodunit featuring one of the most refreshing female protagonists I've encountered in the mystery genre.

Wendy Winkworth is not your typical private investigator. She's young, inexperienced, and trying desperately to prove herself in a male-dominated field. When crime boss Yegg Washington hires her to investigate the murder of star pitcher Betty Jane Wadlow of the Burton City Hornettes, Wendy finds herself undercover as a utility player on a women's baseball team. There problem: she can barely play baseball.

Wendy's authentic and a wonderfully flawed character. Her internal monologue had me chuckling throughout, particularly as she navigates the complex social dynamics of the team while hiding her true identity. Wendy's background - complete with a criminal father and a childhood that taught her survival skills - adds depth to her character without overwhelming the narrative.
