Summary

Local news reporter Avery Shaw's week is going from bad to worse.

It’s bad enough there's a dead body in the parking lot of the paper, but when the investigation into the death leads to drugs - and a tie to her own family - things continue to spiral downward. If she could focus on that, though, it would just be another normal week. Constant run-ins with both the men in her life - neither of whom seems to be showing her the level of respect she feels she deserves - are making things more stressful than they need to be.

Avery is going to get the story - even if it means taking down her own cousin. Surviving to file that story, though, that’s a whole other problem altogether.

Warning: This book is snarky and sarcastic. Listen only if you're not easily offended - and you like to laugh. This is the second book in the Avery Shaw Mystery series.

Ace reporter

I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the mystery but found the many character rude or snarky just because she could or for the fun of it. I think she would have done better using honey instead of vinegar. Otherwise it was fun and there was a few funny moments. This is the second book in the series and you don't need to read the books in order because so far they work as stand alone stories. As I said the mystery was interesting and contained a number of suspects. Just wish the main character wasn't so childish, she wasn't totally dislike able as she showed a strong loyalty and caring side towards her cousin. I did like the way the two potential boyfriends ganged up on her, it didn't work but was fun listening to them try.
Avery is surprised to find all the news is taking place in the car park instead of the office news room. One of the employees was gunned down. Avery is given the task of talking to her bereaved family for the paper. The article writes it self until she meets a cousin of the deceased, who paints a very different picture. It seems she wasn't the saint every body thought she was. Could her death have something to do with her break up with her drug dealing boyfriend? The boy friend has connections and investigating him and his family might not prove to be so easy. Especially as the trail leads Avery to start looking at a favourite cousin that has terrible taste in men and just can't keep out of trouble. Will Avery be able to solve the murder and keep her cousin out of trouble.
I liked the narrator and think she used her voice well to portray a snarky character.

Such an enjoyable listen and series

I really love this series, but listening out of order is weird (strongly recommend listening in order it would make more sense) but that is down to me. This is just such fun and the narration just brings it alive.
