About this listen

When your Monday morning begins with a dead dog and ends with a dead boss, you know it's going to be one of those days. And breakfast TV reporter Cora Baxter has already had the weekend from hell, where the man she'd planned a fabulous future with unceremoniously dumped her.

Now Cora's much-hated boss has been murdered. The list of suspects isn't exactly short, but as the enquiry continues, the trail leads frighteningly close to home. Why is Cora's rival - glamorous, bitchy newsreader Alice Lomas - so devastated by their boss' death? What dark secrets are Cora's camera crew hiding? And why has her now ex-boyfriend vanished?

The race to stop the killer striking again is on....

Jackie Kabler worked as a newspaper reporter and then in television news for 20 years, including nearly a decade on GMTV. She later appeared on BBC and ITV news, presented a property show for Sky, hosted sports shows on Setanta Sports News and worked as a media trainer for the armed forces. She is now a presenter on shopping channel QVC. Jackie lives in Gloucestershire with her husband, who is a GP.

Saw another review and thought this might be my cup of tea!
Easy going ‘who dunnit’ with likeable characters.... little bit predictable!

Nice easy listen!

I bought this because I love listening to Zara Ramm, who once again did a fabulous job bringing the characters to life. Characters that were already well written and recognisable, albeit some of them acted in barely believable ways to fit the story. I thought the middle of the book dragged a bit with nothing much happening but the plot delivered a few little twists at the end. I will definitely listen to another book by this author. On the whole very enjoyable.

Bought this because of the narrator

My first Cora Baxter book. Loved it. Engaging characters, which ensures I shall return to the story again. The plot is interesting even though I guessed the villain's identity. That did not spoil the ending at all though. Narration is superb. In fact Zara Ramm was a major reason for my choice of the book.

Great relaxing read
