My main issue with this book was that I’m a journalist so I didn’t really agree with some of the behavior portrayed. But taken just as a fictional story, it was an interesting ride. One of the plot points was left unresolved as well.

audio -- nicely paced and a pretty good story

In the interest of full disclosure, this is the first mystery I've ready by Truman (so I'm a little slow). And, I'm not a DC denizen, so I have no idea how accurate, or not, some of the details are.

There were many things I enjoyed about this book, a mystery that centers with, yes, a murder at a newspaper. The relationship, and tension, between Joe Wilcox, Tribune crime reporter, and Roberta Wilcox, daughter and television reporter, was a good one. The pride, and concern, they had for each other, as well as the fear of getting scooped -- in part because of the immediacy, or not, of their media forms -- made for a sometimes complex dance. The back, and present, story of Joe's brother, who committed a crime so heinous that he had, for all intents and purposes, been erased from Joe's life, adds an interesting twist. I also enjoyed Joe's wrestling with feeling dates in his job, being pushed towards retirement, and principles of journalistic integrity. One little pebble can cause big ripples in the pond.

I figured several things out way before Joe, Roberta and the police did. There were a few bouncing balls that I started to wonder if they were red herrings, only to have them actually float back and be, well, pretty important. Some characters in the book were less well fleshed out than they could have been, including wife/mom Georgia. But I'm willing to give Truman another try (or three).

it was a ling rambling style book. I found the characters somewhere between whiney and annoying. it was too long and I lost interest I. the journalism setting long before the books was done. I doubt I would listen to another audio book by this author.

A wonderful book that has suspense at every turn. There is definitely twists to the book that catch you by surprise. Am anxious to see how it finishes.

Good story but I figured out 2 of the murders fairly easily. She built the story up with twists and turns but then the ending was kind of a letdown. The story kept my interest and she made most of the characters believable.

Fantastic mystery, Margaret Truman's book surprised me. It kept you guessing practically who the murder was until the end.

The book centers around the Washington Tribute where a young female journalist has just been strangled. Joe Wilcox, an older journalist is investigating who has committed the murder and will stop at nothing, no matter how low, to find out the truth. As Wilcox is being pushed slowly out of hi job he tries to reinvent himself as a top notch reporter and risks his job as well as his family and personal relationships.
I found this book to be boring and it dragged slowly.

Trite, unrealistic and no real resolution

7-13-2016 re-read but 6 years ago must have been forgettable - didn't remember it.
in reading my 6 year old comments, i must have gotten some of the verbiage from the book flap.
