Irene Kelly is back! After years of waiting newspaper reporter Irene Kelly is back with more trouble than ever. Like most newspapers, the Las Piernas Express is in trouble and Irene's life as a reporter is threatened. To add to her stress level is serial killer Nick Parrish. A few years before Irene encountered Parrish when she was part of a group led into the mountains by Parrish to show where the bodies were buried. After narrowly escaping with he life Irene could rest a little easier knowing he was behind bars and paralyzed, and she could go back to her life. But all that's about to change.
Jan Burke has created a wonderful character in Irene Kelly that keeps readers hooked. The other characters are alive and come right off the page. To compliment the great characters is a plot that leaves you hanging on and staying up "for just one more chapter." The description makes you feel like you're right there with Irene going through the same thing. Burke's dialogue is sassy and smart.
A great part of this book is that Burke incorporates what is going on now in the real world with what is happening in the book. Some authors create their stories and put what they want in without consideration for what is really happening. The newspaper business, like so many others is struggling and ignoring this is unrealaistic when you're main character is employed at a newspaper. This does of reality makes the story and the characters more believable.
There is no doubt that people will enjoy this book, I did. It is well written and entertaining.
