Devil in the Deadline (A Nichelle Clarke Headlines in Heels Mystery #4)
by LynDee Walker (Goodreads Author)
Hardcover, First, 294 pages
Published January 6th 2015 by Henery Press
Goodreads synopsis: When the Richmond police offer an exclusive in exchange for help with a case, nothing—not even a costume party—stops crime reporter Nichelle Clarke from making Manolo tracks to the crime scene. The hunt leads her to a televangelist’s compound in the Virginia countryside where the Reverend may be more interested in fat stacks of cash than he is saving wayward souls.
With two sexy guys tangled up in Nichelle’s story—and in her heart—work and love are on a crash course for disaster. Pressure pours in from every corner, including a faceless new competitor that means the deadline is always five minutes ago. As secrets threaten and the truth becomes her lifeline, Nichelle must unmask the killer and nail down the story before she’s snared in the carefully-constructed web.
I love how LynDee Walker writes her Headlines in Heels mysteries. She is the one to look to for a perfect cozy. This book takes a lot of twist and turns which every mystery reader just loves... me included.
Nichelle has quite a few gorgeous guys in her back pocket just waiting on the side lines for her to pick them. I can't make my mind up who she belongs with. This lady has a lot of guts and gusto when tackling a big story and she doesn't let wanna-bes like Girl Friday dissuade her from getting the headline she wants.
I love how Walker really gets you invested in the characters and wanting not only Nichelle to do well, but even the other minor characters. This is mystery writing done right. Please pick this up and place it at the top of your TBR pile.
