Tamron Hall, a well-known talk show host, has written her second book about crime reporter, Jordan Manning. Tamron, who is a broadcast journalist and hosts a TV crime show, draws from her own career and crime reporting knowledge to depict Jordan, a young black journalist dedicated to truth and justice.
Jordan is now the lead crime reporter at Channel 8 news in Chicago. She is known for solving tough cases and has her own show called 'Justice Jordan.' Many callers ask for Jordan's help, including one with an urgent request to find her missing sister.
Marla Hannah, a mother from Indiana, left her husband and moved in with her sister, Shelly. After dropping her daughter off at preschool one morning, she disappears and misses several scheduled appointments. Shelly is worried and believes that Marla wouldn't leave her kids willingly. After reporting her missing to the police, Shelly reaches out to Jordan for help.
When Shelly suspects that her sister was murdered by her husband, Jordan travels to Indiana to interview Marla's family and friends. She becomes entangled in a sex scandal and a love triangle involving suspicious characters. Jordan uncovers dark secrets and lies, making it hard to trust anyone. What really happened to Marla?
This book offers a peek into investigative journalism rather than being a suspenseful thriller. The standout feature is Jordan Manning, known for her integrity, courage, and determination in seeking justice. Readers also gain insight into the broadcasting world and the challenges faced by a female black journalist. Despite her success, Jordan feels the constant pressure to prove herself.
Tamron Hall has promised a third book in this series. As a fan of Jordan Manning, I am eager for her next compelling case.
