This is the second in the Tess Monaghan series and I intend to continue to read this series. I really like Tess as a protagonist; she is very "real" - someone whose feelings actions I can relate to. In this book, Tess is an investigator (her new career)and is hired by the only newspaper left in Baltimore to find the person responsible for printing a story that should have been "dead". The person who is featured in this story then commits suicide but the paper still wants to know who is not a team player. Meanwhile, Tess's Uncle Spike was severely beaten and lies in a coma and there are no questions being answered as to what happened. So basically, there are two plots in this book. Tess gets herself into some hairy situations and nearly becomes a dead investigator. The perpetrator was someone she (and I) did not suspect. I enjoyed the book and can recommend it as a good read - not too long but there is enough detail about people and events to have a solid novel.
