I LOVED this book. I've read a number of Clark's books and have enjoyed them all, but this one was one of my favorites. I love how she does not include pages of "filler" that has nothing to do with the plot. Every page in this book is pertinent. I also love how she includes what the killer is thinking. I totally had no clue who the killer was until the very end. SOOOO good !

Mary Jane Clark is on my list to read books. The characters and the suspense of her writing makes this a page turner too. Very good read. I am now ordering It only takes money

When Constance Young, the undisputed star of morning television, is found dead at the bottom of her swimming pool, her colleague Eliza Blake is shocked. Determined to discover who wanted Constance out of the way - and why - she enlists the aid of three coworkers: Annabelle Murphy, who can switch from producing to sleuthing at a moment's notice; cameraman extraordinaire B.J. D'Elia to add brains, brawn, and a much needed male perspective to the team; and Dr. Margo Gonzalez, on-air psychiatrist, who understand the complex puzzles of the human mind. Calling themselves the "Sunrise Suspense Society," they set out to get to the bottom of the heinous murder, in a case that will test their ingenuity and their courage to the very limits. The only sure thing is that Constance Young made a lot of enemies - and now one of them is Eliza's enemy as well. And the closer she and the Society get to unmasking the murderer, the less chance they have of making it through each night alive.

Mary Jane Clark writes fast paced murder mysteries about people who work in broadcast journalism. When Day Breaks is the first in her new series, the Sunrise Suspense Society. When a prominent but much disliked news anchor is murdered, the members of the KEY News team try to solve the crime. Clark's prose is crisp and suspenseful, which leaves the reader guessing until the end. A good and satisfying read.

Everyone hates Constance Young. It's no secret that her colleagues think she's a world class b***h, and rightly so. But when she ends up dead at the bottom of her swimming pool, it's up to those same colleagues to figure out exactly what happened to her.

Constance had just quit her job at KEY To America to move over to the morning news competition, Daybreak. No one was sad to see her go, but who hated her enough to kill her?

As bodies start piling up and the news business gets fierce, it will be up to KEY Headline News evening anchor Eliza and her coworkers Annabelle, B.J., and Margo to get to the bottom of the mystery.

This was a fun, fast mystery that I enjoyed. The behind-the-scenes working of television news was a great subplot, and the storyline makes perfect sense. This is a great summer beach read.

The drowning of a television celebrity in her home pool causes an uproar which becomes a firestorm when it's revealed that she was murdered. Colleagues at the television station manage to bumble their way into identifying the murder, but not until well past the time when Careful Reader has already sussed it out.

This book is listed as the first in a series.
