Too many subplots not resolved. Not sure what the main plot really was. Ending was soft and not well developed earlier on. But I still enjoyed the read.

In this book, Jance does not follow either one of her popular series, electing instead to write about a high profile tv journalist, Alison Reynolds, who loses her job because she is "over the hill" at forty.
She finds herself embroiled in murder and mayhem, and narrowly misses being killed herself. Good book, as are all Jance books.

This is not one of my favorite JA Jance stories but was okay.
....ALison Reynolds a successful newsbroadcaster has been fired from her job to be replaced by someone younger, at the same time her marriage is failing. Then she gets word from home that her best friend, Rennie is missing and then found dead. While everyone thinks its suicide Ali is determined to find out the truth.

I am a huge JA Jance fan so imagine my surprise when I was terribly disappointed with this book. It reads "Novel of Suspense" on the cover but it was not suspenseful. It did not hold my interest, and I couldn't connect with any of the characters. This is just my humble opinion so try it for yourself and see what you think!

Allison Reynolds is an anchor woman on a leading LA television station. But Allison is fired because she is over forty and is replaced by a younger woman. However, the male anchors are all older than Allison but their jobs are secure. Allison herself replaced an older woman when she took the job. Her marriage crashes, she is out of a job and when she hears about her best friend's death, she returns to her hometown and decides to stay. She runs a blog her son set up for her, helps out in her folk's diner and refuses to accept suicide as the cause of death of her friend. She sues her husband for divorce and sues the station that fired her for discrimination. Jance once again has filled iout the characters and still runs a fast paced plot.
Four stars.
