About this listen

 Karen Grigsby Bates, a contributor to People magazine and the Los Angeles Times, and an NPR commentator, delivers a slick mystery featuring sharp-tongued reporter Alex Powell.

While attending the National Association of Black Journalists conference, Alex discovers the dead body of a publishing bigwig who was about to be toasted as journalist of the year. As Alex investigates, she uncovers deadly secrets - and puts her own life in danger.

Critic reviews

"Alex, despite her preoccupation with the material world, is a likable, smart-ass heroine, and readers will smile when she gets her villain--and her man--in the end." ( Booklist)

Excellent story line. loved the voices of the characters, especially Sena..not sure how it's spelled. But just awesome pace and very humorous at times. wouldn't mind a follow up book to this one or even a series.

Excellent!
