"When the host of a popular radio talk show is murdered, the suspects almost outnumber his millions of listeners.
Outspoken radio talk show host Jim Fate dies tragically when poisonous gas fills the studio while his polarizing show, "The Hand of Fate," is on air.
In the ensuing panic, police evacuate downtown Portland-and the triple treat of FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges, crime reporter Cassidy Shaw, and Federal Prosecutor Allison Pierce piecing together the madness, motive, and mystery of what just happened. And this time, it's personal since one of the women was secretly dating the host and has access to his home...as well as possible evidence.
In the days following Fate's murder, these three colleagues and friends confront a betrayal within the team while unearthing the not-so-public life of Jim Fate. Together, they must uncover the stunning truths of who killed him, how close the killer really is, and the twisted motive for this cold-blooded murder."
This was a good book in that it was entertaining. I love a good murder mystery, and this book delivered. This is the second "Triple Threat" novel, and while it does stand alone it would be nice in my mind to read the first book to introduce the characters.
The characters of Cassidy, Nicole and Allison are all very real women that are easy to like. One is an aging newscaster that is having trouble with a younger woman at work. That is an easy problem to relate to and makes her very easy to like. Another suffers a personal tragedy during the book, and the other is a single mother who starts to think about dating.
Another thing that appealed to me about this book is that it is written about talk radio. I am a talk radio junky, and it just made the book that much more enjoyable. My only criticism is that the book was a little difficult to follow at first for me, but I think that could have been resolved by reading the first in the series. It is action packed from the beginning though, so it is nice jump right into the action.
