New York City has no shortage of crime, making for a busy schedule for TV newswoman Clare Carlson. But not all crimes are created equal, and when an explosive planted in a car detonates and kills a woman, Clare knows it'll be a huge story for her.

But it's not only about the story—Clare also wants justice for the victim, Wendy Kyle. Wendy had sparked controversy as an NYPD officer, ultimately getting kicked off the force after making sexual harassment allegations and getting into a physical altercation with her boss. Then, she started a private investigations business, catering to women who suspected their husbands of cheating. Undoubtedly, Wendy had angered many people with her work, so the list of her suspected murderers is seemingly endless.

Despite the daunting investigation, Clare dives in headfirst. As she digs deeper, she attracts the attention of many rich and powerful people who will stop at nothing to keep her from breaking the truth about the death of Wendy Kyle—and exposing their personal secrets that Wendy took to her grave.

Perfect for fans of Sue Grafton and J. D. Robb

MY THOUGHTS

Broadcast Blues  is written by : R.G. Belsky. This is book 6 in the Clare Carlson Mystery Series. This is the first book that I have read by this author - and I had no issues following along. Clare is a TV news reporter and when Wendy Kyle, a former NYPD police officer turned PI is killed she wants to get justice for her - and she knows it will be a big story, 

Wendy's suspect list is long. She was kicked off the police force for a sexual harassment claim she made and then got into a physical altercation with her boss. She became a private investigator and definitely ruffled a few feathers too. 

The author has crafted a brilliant story of whodunit. I loved Clare and how she wanted to seek justice and get to the bottom of the murder. This book is written by first person narrative - so you really get a feel for Clare and how her brain is working. There are a lot of twists and turns in this story .

The story is well written. The characters well developed. I will be reading more from this author. Thank you to the author, publisher and Partners in Crime Tours for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.
