About this audiobook
From Rob Thomas, the creator of the television series and movie phenomenon Veronica Mars, comes the first book in a thrilling mystery series that picks up where the feature film left off.Â
Â
Ten years after graduating from high school in Neptune, California, Veronica Mars is back in the land of sun, sand, crime, and corruption. Sheâs traded in her law degree for her old private investigating license, struggling to keep Mars Investigations afloat on the scant cash earned by catching cheating spouses until she can score her first big case.
Â
Now itâs spring break, and college students descend on Neptune, transforming the beaches and boardwalks into a frenzied, week-long rave. When a girl disappears from a party, Veronica is called in to investigate. But this is no simple missing personâs case; the house the girl vanished from belongs to a man with serious criminal ties, and soon Veronica is plunged into a dangerous underworld of drugs and organized crime. And when a major break in the investigation has a shocking connection to Veronicaâs past, the case hits closer to home than she ever imagined.
Â
In Veronica Mars, Rob Thomas has created a groundbreaking female detective whoâs part Phillip Marlowe, part Nancy Drew, and all snark. With its sharp plot and clever twists, The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line will keep you guessing until the very last page.

such a talented actress Kristen Bell does it again with her character Veronica Mars such a talented character actress. the voices she does are so impressive she came on the edge of my seat and then laughing the next scene she knows how to make someone cry laugh and jump out of their seat.I always found Veronica Mars to be gorgeous and a beautiful in just such a natural way. she doesn't have to do anything and she's just beautiful. even on her worst days she probably astonishingly beautiful

It's so fun hearing Kristen Bell doing all these voices! Not a bad story, either. Glad I listened to this before seeing the fourth season of the show.
