I think this was the first of the Key News novels from Mary Jane Clark. I've read several, so it was probably time that I read the first. It is nice to know how they started. It took a long time in the book to learn of the first murder, but, though this surprised me, it did not bother me. I enjoyed the introduction of the familiar characters and the intrigue of personal secrets of the staff being leaked in lurid headlines to the popular tabloid.
I have now started The People of the Morning Star, book #21 in the "People of" series by W. Michael and Kathleen O'Neal Gear and the first in their Cohokia Trilogy. This one has a serious villain, not really present in most of their books, though certainly present in the last trilogy I read. He is evil, but understandable and the protagonists are not exactly perfect, either. I enjoy the character development and interaction, the plot, and the background/ environment of this historical novel.
