From the first page, the author draws you into a murder mystery that takes place in the most unlikely place, control room A at KQPT-TV/channel 8. The key character in this upbeat mystery is news director Leslie Lloyd. She is assertive, can be bitchy and has definitely perfected foot-in-the-mouth disease. She is also the key suspect in the murder of the station manager, Lincoln Delaware Bradbury III.
Woven nicely into the mystery is a budding romantic relationship with none other than a police officer she meets during the murder investigation. Needless to say, this complicates her life and makes for interesting, fun, and compelling reading.
Leslie is surrounded by a talented team of behind-the-scenes off- camera talent. During the investigation, disaster looms as Leslie’s close friend, Rob, a member of the KQPT-TV crew dies. Is his death of natural causes? It appears that way. However, Rob’s father seeks out Leslie to investigate Rob’s death as a murder. While Leslie is willing to help Rob’s father, she wonders privately if this is a grieving father’s folly.
Does the romance between Leslie and her new squeeze escalate or fizzle? You’ll wonder as she gives more attention to keeping herself free from arrest as a suspect in Lincoln’s death and pursuing Rob’s fathers’ plea to discover the cause of his son’s death. For the romantics in the crowd, you’ll find the relationship gathers momentum as the two lovers find their way.
In the midst of Leslie’s quest to establish her own alibi, and conduct the investigation of Rob’s death, yet another high-level station employee is murdered. The suspects are narrowed down and Leslie is doggedly engaged in her investigation to ultimately solve the murder mysteries.
The author’s ten-year career in television broadcasting adds authenticity to her story, while she creates a fun, funny and fictional storyline.
Don’t get left behind as Leslie finds who killed whom and why, and discovers romance in the process.
