I've had this book for awhile and didn't read it because I'd read some iffy reviews, along with good ones.
I give this book a good 8 or better, I was really into it during the two nights it took to read it. [I read for hrs]
The book's premise is good, Ali, a 45 year old news anchor woman gets fired for being too old while her fellow [male] anchors are a lot older. She is replaced by a young bimbo. She finds out that week that her exec husband is having two affairs with two young bimbos. Her best friend died, maybe by suicide.
Her college aged son and she go to her home town for the funeral and her son teaches her how to blog. In her blog she talks about her friend's ALS and she gets involved with a poster who is being abused. Somehow the abused woman's husband checks her mail and threatens Ali that if his wife leaves, he's coming after her.
All the while Ali is investigating her friend's death.
There are some red herrings, twists and turns in the mystery and some comforting day to day stuff as Ali works as a waitress in her parent's diner when her dad is injured, her divorce from her rotten husband and her funny conversations with her "Rottweiler attorney" and other scenes which make Ali more real.
There is danger and action and suspense. Mostly I like the book because slowly Ali stops being the victim and fights back in all areas of her life and is a winner.
So I think the book is a really going one. I like J.A. Jance, I've read both her Detective Beaumont stories as well as Joann Brady.
