I really enjoyed this book。 You follow along with the reporter （Jordan Manning） as she goes about her daily work in the newsroom and her life， giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s really like for a news journalist。 Since the author has actually been there herself， it feels very authentic。 The mystery itself was not as captivating as some， but it was still very interesting to see how the reporter was able to work out the story and solve the crime even before the police did。 There was I really enjoyed this book。 You follow along with the reporter （Jordan Manning） as she goes about her daily work in the newsroom and her life， giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s really like for a news journalist。 Since the author has actually been there herself， it feels very authentic。 The mystery itself was not as captivating as some， but it was still very interesting to see how the reporter was able to work out the story and solve the crime even before the police did。 There was a woman -a mother of 2 - who had been missing for a month and it seemed like no one was even taking her disappearance seriously。 So her sister begged Jordan Manning to look into it， believing the estranged husband was behind her disappearance。 Jordan uncovered a friend with whom the mother had been staying， who had been withholding information。 Then she found an affair that the husband had been involved in， and the woman had pretended to be a friend to the missing woman。 There were more surprises along the way， but eventually she gets her man - and the scoop！ I received an ARC in return for my honest review。 。。。more

This is the second book starring Jordan Manning， Chicago tv reporter turned investigative journalist。 Capitalizing on her crime solving ability， her station has launched a campaign entitled ‘Justice Jordan’ and is deluged with calls from viewers seeking help。 Rather tentatively， she finds herself involved in helping the sister of a missing mother named Marla， who has two children and an estranged husband。 The crime is not violent unlike that in ‘As the Wicked Watch’， but a scenario that is plaus This is the second book starring Jordan Manning， Chicago tv reporter turned investigative journalist。 Capitalizing on her crime solving ability， her station has launched a campaign entitled ‘Justice Jordan’ and is deluged with calls from viewers seeking help。 Rather tentatively， she finds herself involved in helping the sister of a missing mother named Marla， who has two children and an estranged husband。 The crime is not violent unlike that in ‘As the Wicked Watch’， but a scenario that is plausible at its core given the high rate of marriage failure and expanding online gaming and social media chat rooms which don’t always turn out to provide safe spaces。 The dynamics behind Marla’s prior relationships with family and friends are the heart of the case and it gets complicated and a bit muddled in the telling。 I thought some of that could have been revealed more smoothly。 A murder detailed at the beginning just about drops out of the story until two brief mentions late in the book trying to draw a parallel to Marla’s situation。 I had to question why is it was included at all since it was unnecessary。 For me， the most enjoyable part of the story was getting more insight into Jordan。 She is professional， smart and a highly capable character who is not star struck by her image。 There is nothing about her that is not relatable。 She definitely is able to through caution to the wind when commitment to the investigation is her priority。 This book gives us some insight into her insecurities。 One can’t help wonder if Jordan bears a strong resemblance to Tamron herself。 I’m hoping the series will continue and that each book will take us deeper into the life and history of Jordan along with whatever her future career path presents。 The first book was better and set high expectations。 This one fell short （3。5 stars rounded up） but I can she the potential。Thank you to the author， the publisher William Morrow and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review an ARC。 。。。more

This was a super quick read。 It had a lot going on and sometimes too much （not sure we need Jordan Manning to want a man so badly） but overall it was a good enough time。 I liked some of the twists and figured out a lot of the story， but not everything。

I enjoyed this book， maybe less than I did the first one。If I had to put my finger on what didn't work it's that this story feels just a little out of place。 It's not only that it's not set in the present， I believe we're in that mid-aughts if I can remember correctly after finishing it so long ago at this point。 Still， it feels like the books that were coming out around that time， even a little further back into the ninetes。 The procedural mysteries that would go on to spin network dramas that I enjoyed this book， maybe less than I did the first one。If I had to put my finger on what didn't work it's that this story feels just a little out of place。 It's not only that it's not set in the present， I believe we're in that mid-aughts if I can remember correctly after finishing it so long ago at this point。 Still， it feels like the books that were coming out around that time， even a little further back into the ninetes。 The procedural mysteries that would go on to spin network dramas that could run for no less than seven seasons and be a ratings juggernut on their respective night。 Those have a better supporting cast; either because the show is a two hander or the people also involved in the narrative have opportunities to build up the interiority to their respective characters。 Here we are simply stuck with Jordan Manning， and while the potential exists for the news crew to be of importance to the reader the way that they are to her as a character， that potential is never quite realized。 Instead I felt like the book was a little hollow as Jordan spent her time looking into what could have possibly happened to this missing woman。 Outside the scope of the series， as for the structure of this book as a standalone， it's fine。 It's not the most remarkable mystery that I've read。 I did find myself wanting the book to play up this local news angle more， simply because I think that's part of the appeal of this mystery versus any of the other books on the market that follow potentially less qualified protagonists。 The resolution is satisfying enough。I don't think I would go out of my way to recommend this to other readers， but Hall being a celebrity author will do enough to get this into the hands of those that are vaguely interested。 With summer right around the corner this is an enjoyable enough book to pack on the plane to get out of the way before diving into something better as you lounge on the beach or pool or your reading location of choice on vacation。 。。。more

TV anchor Jordan turns investigator once again in this trope-y novel about a missing woman。 Shelley doesn't know what happened to her sister Marla and she persuades Jordan to look for her。 It's the second in a series and perfectly readable as a standalone， especially since Hall spends much time building Jordan's character。 While the mystery didn't capture me， I appreciated the insight into the television business。 As with the first novel， a bit more editing would have been helpful。 Thanks to the TV anchor Jordan turns investigator once again in this trope-y novel about a missing woman。 Shelley doesn't know what happened to her sister Marla and she persuades Jordan to look for her。 It's the second in a series and perfectly readable as a standalone， especially since Hall spends much time building Jordan's character。 While the mystery didn't capture me， I appreciated the insight into the television business。 As with the first novel， a bit more editing would have been helpful。 Thanks to the publisher for the ARC。 Over to others。 。。。more

I love a good mystery， and this book had me changing who to blame in almost every chapter。 Jordan is an investigating reporter。 She reports newsworthy events。 When Shelly reaches out to Jordan about her missing sister; Jordan is down into a story that seems unbelievable！Using her investigating skills， Jordan arrives at a conclusion only she would figure out！

This was a good read。 Just the right amount of mystery and intrigue to keep your interest。 I like a book that gives you all the answers by the end。 Thank you to HarperCollins and Goodreads for the ARC。

I went into this not knowing it was part of a series and enjoyed it so much， I may go read the first！ I particularly enjoyed how it all wrapped up neatly with a bow， but understand some readers may not enjoy that as it isn’t fully realistic。

Just like most people， I know who Tamron Hall is。 What I didn't know， was that， besides being a wonderful journalist， host （and you know， a badass）， she's also a wonderful writer as well。 I enjoyed every moment reading this book， the intricated and very well elaborated plot， each revelation and the main character， If there's another book in the Jordan Manning series， I can't wait to read it。 Just like most people， I know who Tamron Hall is。 What I didn't know， was that， besides being a wonderful journalist， host （and you know， a badass）， she's also a wonderful writer as well。 I enjoyed every moment reading this book， the intricated and very well elaborated plot， each revelation and the main character， If there's another book in the Jordan Manning series， I can't wait to read it。 。。。more
