The Bad Break
The Bad Break: A Riley Ellison Mystery | Jill Orr
4 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
Riley Ellison has taken a great leap of faith by giving up her comfortable job at the Tuttle Corner Library for the exciting world of print journalism. Except that so far it hasn't been very exciting. All that changes when Riley's former co-worker Tabitha finds her soon-to-be father-in-law dead on the floor of his office, and Riley is asked to write his obituary. And when they discover Tabitha's fiancé's knife sticking out of his father's chest, Riley finds herself with a murder investigation to cover as well. With Holman out on leave and mounting pressure from her boss, the mayor, and a bridezilla facing the possibility of a conjugal-visit honeymoon, Riley is desperate to prove she can handle the increasing demands of her new job. Despite warnings from her new boyfriend Jay, Riley blurs the line between reporter and investigator. Will Riley's rookie mistakes lead to more than just her byline ending up on the obituary page?

This was enjoyable overall. While Riley has investigative instincts, I found her lack of journalistic instincts frustrating. But, I'll most likely continue the series bc they are fun reads.

I haven‘t post in awhile because I‘ve been swamped with writing, promotion, and two trips. But I read plenty of books...

Really enjoyed the second in series with a small town librarian turned journalist/obit writer.

Riley and crew are a humorous group. Decent mystery with humor and spunk.
