There's a big news story for veteran reporter Clare Carlson to break, and she's all in trying to discover who murdered private investigator Wendy Kyle. Was it someone whom Wendy worked with on the police force years ago? Had someone found out Wendy had been investigating them and retaliated? Or is there more to the story?
Broadcast Blues is R.G. Belsky's sixth Clare Carlson book, and if you haven't read the previous ones (as I hadn't), don't worry! There's enough backstory thrown in (and sometimes repeated numerous times) to get you up to speed. This thrilling novel easily stands on its own.
I really enjoyed reading about the newsroom antics where Clare works, most of which was inspired by Belsky's own experiences working as a journalist in New York City. But what I really enjoyed was how the story unfolded. I couldn't figure out who was the bad guy and who was the good guy, who was dead and who would soon turn up dead! Clare Carlson doesn't know who to trust! But she knows she's onto something, and like any good journalist, she doesn't back down from the truth.
If you're looking for a fast-paced crime novel for your next book club pick, then this would be a good one. There are even discussion questions in the back of the book to get your discussion started!
Broadcast Blues is published by Oceanview Publishing and is available now to purchase. I received a free e-ARC in exchange for this review.
