A Minnesota TV reporter is gifted an unsolved murder case by a retired police detective, and in the middle of a ratings war finds the case suddenly heating up, in Julie Kramer's Stalking Susan.
This storytelling is smart and snappy, with believable characters, and a two-pronged mystery--the unsolved murder case, which ends up being tied to others featuring victims named Susan, and what at first seems like a throwaway story about an unscrupulous vet.
I worked in television and television news for a while, starting in Wisconsin, and found a lot of the elements rang true. A protagonist with an interesting backstory was also welcome.
This is the first in a series from Kramer, and I would be interested in the next one. I borrowed this in a good audiobook version from the New Castle-Henry County Public Library in New Castle, Indiana.
