Bookseller recommendation

“This book offers an intriguing behind-the-scenes look at news broadcasting, providing insights that even those who don't regularly watch the news will find fascinating. The twists and turns of the mystery plot kept me engaged, and the ending was pleasantly unpredictable. However, some side plot lines felt unnecessary, and the main character's motivations seemed inconsistent. Initially driven by a commitment to reporting the truth, she later becomes focused solely on getting the scoop. Additionally, her lack of communication with the police department felt unrealistic for a newscaster. Despite these flaws, the interactions with her fellow news agents were enjoyable, and I could see potential for this story to evolve into a series. Overall, it was an entertaining read with a compelling premise.”

Summary
About the author
About the narrator

Jolene Garcia is a local TV reporter in Phoenix, Arizona, splitting her time between covering general assignments—anything from a monsoon storm to a newborn giraffe at the zoo—and special projects, stories that take more time to research and produce, stories that Jolene wants to tell. When word gets out about a death at a radio station, Jolene and other journalists swarm the scene, intent on reporting the facts first. The body is soon identified as Larry Lemmon, a controversial talk-show host, who died under suspicious circumstances. Jolene conducted his final interview, giving her and her station an advantage. But not for long. As the story heats up, so does the competition. Jolene is determined to solve this murder. It’s an investigation that could make or break her career—if it doesn't break her first.
