"Playing James"
Hi. This week I'm reading a book that a family member lent to me (the library also carries this book). It's called "Playing James" by Sarah Mason. If I had to describe the main character, Holly Colshannon, I would say she's the British Stephanie Plum. From the start this book had the feel of a Janet Evanovich novel. Holly is a newly appointed crime reporter with a local newspaper. She is assigned a police detective to work with, on a special feature, and he does not like her. It's funny and a light read. I'm really enjoying it. It would be a good summer read. Enjoy.

this sounds like a great read, and since i won't be getting the new steph plum book for a while, it may be just the thing to tide me over!
If you like to read about crime reporters, my recently published legal thriller, A Good Conviction, a (fictional) reporter from the NY Daily News plays a major role in unmasking a Manhattan ADA so desperate for a conviction that he hides the exculpatory evidence that would have proven innocence. This happens in America far more often than we would like to think.

I read Society Girls also by Sarah Mason which features Holly's sister. I really enjoyed it too.
