Hank Phillipi Ryan has a great new book The Other Woman. This is a tale of a TV reporter who, by not naming a source, for a story was fired from her job when the station was sued. She got a newspaper job through a more-than-friend cop (there is a lot of chemistry between them but their positions make anything more than friendship a no-no). When the "source" turns up dead, all Jane's hopes of being back on the TV spot are dashed.

This story has lots of action, realistic characters, situations, possible love-interests and a real mystery. Who is the "other woman"? Jane has ideas but seems to just miss the connection quite often. At the end, it all comes clear -- and almost deadly -- for Jane and she is rewarded for her tenacity.

Ryan herself comes from the TV broadcasting world so really understands her character and what is involved in the day-to-day life of a reporter. This is good stuff!
