FACE TIME

Charlie McNally is a 48-year-old investigative reporter who is being pushed by the management of the TV station she works for to come up with a big story for sweeps week. Charlie has been approached by a group for crimminal justice that they believe a woman has been wrongly imprisoned for the death of her husband. There do seem to be certain facts which might lead Charlie to believe they are right but there is one main stumbling block - the woman confessed to the murder. There's another problem, too, the woman refuses to talk to Charlie. It's not going to be easy to get a story out of this mess.

I have been hearing about Hank Phillipi Ryan's stories for quite awhile. I didn't jump in because I absolutely loath reading from small paperbacks. Too much eyestrain. When this book was finally available in large print, I was eager to give it a try. For the most part this was a pretty good read. Charlie and her co-workers and friends are nice and pleasant people. Sometimes, things seemed a little weak but overall, it was a good story and I'll probably try to read the next one before too long.

Rating - B+
