Pretty good. It's going to be interesting to see Dawn grow up throughout the course of the next few novels before getting her own story. Mordecai is a scary creepy guy who I hope they take care of soon. ( )

Julie is hard working news anchorwoman and a single mom, Sean is a crack investigative reporter who always tries to out scoop Julie. After running into each other at an ugly murder scene, these two rivals end up as unlikely partners.

This was the first Maggie Shayne book that I have read. I felt that there was a few times that a thesaurs could have been used better than it was but this book was very interesting. The suspense was there, a few suprises along the way, and the descriptions were vivid. I am looking forward to the 2nd book of this series. ( )
