Format:Mass Market Paperback
Ali Reynolds thought her career as a news anchor in LA was solid. Everything seemed fine until she finished up Friday night's segment and was fired. Ali also learns that her marriage is over. Chris, Ali's son, is supportive. He shows her how to set up a blog online so Ali can now tell the whole world what happened.
Of course, trouble comes in sets of three. That third bit of bad news is that Ali's best friend was diagnosed with ALS and then disappeared. The police find the body of Ali's friend and closes the file as suicide. Ali refuses to believe her friend would suicide because of receiving bad news from her doctor and
begins to nose around. But someone out there does not want Ali snooping around OR writing in her blog.
** This had a lot of potential; however, it just did not come across to me as realistic. I never came to care for Ali and her personality was almost non-existent. Since this is the first of a new series, I am hoping that the next novel will be better.

Too many lawyers?
31 Jan 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Fired abruptly from her anchor position at a prominent news station for being `too old', Ali Reynolds returns to her home to learn that her best friend is dead - apparently by suicide, over a snowy mountain after a fatal medical diagnosis. Realizing she has no constraints on her time, Ali heads back to her hometown and her parents' Sugarloaf Café, where she grew up. Ali has another wonderful discovery on her way to her hometown - her marriage is over. Her husband has been cheating on her for a while, unbeknownst to her but known by most others. So, in the midst of a lawsuit against the station and divorce proceedings, Ali hunkers down in the house she inherited from her aunt, venting her frustrations and problems on a blog that her son has set up for her. Little does she suspect what ball her ruminations will set rolling. A good read, although I did set it down to finish others, first. I suspect there will be more stories with Ali.

Possible new series
29 Dec 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
J.A. Jance seems to be probing the possibility of a new series in EDGE OF EVIL. Alison Reynolds is fired from her job as a news anchor and starts a blog about her firing and her intentions to fight it. As the book develops, the blog expands to include the investigation of her best friends death, ALS and domestic violence. A large cast of characters is introduced and several loose ends are left, leaving the possibility of a sequel or more. Worthwhile reading, although lacking the detail of Jance's other series.

Jance Lite - Less interesting, with a hint of cloying and annoying
3 Jan 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I am a huge fan of Jance's work, so I was surprised that I didn't like Edge of Evil very much. Jance is so good at creating characters with interesting dark sides. The characters in this book seem much better suited for an episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition. I hope Jance will not develop the Ali Reynolds character any further. She has such a goldmine with J.P. Beaumont and Joanna Brady.
