Exposed
Every three days, at 9pm, someone connected with The Daily Ear is found dead.
Book Description:
“She could not shake a terrible feeling of dread, a feeling that out there, somewhere, in the streets of London, someone was watching her. And planning to kill her.”
Valerie Pierce is reinventing herself. After more than thirty years as an outspoken columnist for a scandalous right-wing tabloid, The Daily Ear, she wants to renew her personal brand and be seen as a more moderate and thoughtful commentator. She knows she hurt many people over the course of her career, and likely destroyed many lives. But her own private life suffered too, and she is attempting to rebuild her relationships with her estranged daughter and ex-husband.
Only people are dying. People Valerie used to work with. Every three days, at 9pm, someone connected with The Daily Ear is found dead. Valerie can see the pattern, and senses a serial killer is at work. But when no one will believe her, not even the police, she turns to the one person who has the knowledge and resources to help. However, it is someone with a lifetime of grudges against Valerie: gay television actor Adam Jaymes.
Reviews for the Book
I was so worried this author's second book would disappoint. I loved his first so much. And I am so glad to say I loved this one too! Great to see see characters return, and I was also excited by the new characters. Interesting to see family relationships being broken down and explored in the middle of a murder mystery story, but it added to the threat level (there are characters you just don't want to die). And, as usual for this author, plenty of superb and unexpected twists and turns throughout with plenty of dark comedy thrown in for good measure. It was worth the wait! Loved every page.- Reader
