John J. (schiffer) reviewed on 11/26/2007 + 5 more book reviews

This is my first book written by this author and what a disappointment it is. The plot is dull, not suspenseful at all as it claims on the front page. It deals with a anchorwomen, Ali, whom has been cut loose due to her age, she returns home by the death of a close friend and helped by her son to start a blog to share with her thoughts and situation.

While it seems everyone have agreed that the friend had committed suicide do to the confirmation of ALS. Ali was not convice, knowing her friend, Ali determined to find out what is the main cause of her death. Along the way, she encounter some other issues which are too minor to be addressed.

The culprit behind the murder of Ali's friend was the friends sister, which I have my eyes set on when she was just introduced. Jance made some commitment to elude the readers to direct the suspicion to the friend's husband. Whom the friend quelled with, whom have his mistress move in the next day of his dead wife's funeral. But to me, he was too stupid to come up with the plan.

According to some reviews which I read, Jance's other work are apparently much better, but as I read this novel, it is quite hard to pick up another book.
