Way faster than her first book, I enjoyed this one more! Could not put down so finished the audio book fairly quickly!

BIPOC Mystery Thriller set in Chicago 2009 following a TV journalist who looks into the case of a missing mother and discovers secrets and scandals that put her own life in grave danger.
4/5 stars: This is the second entry in Hall's Jordan Manning series, which is a Mystery Thriller that takes place in 2009 Chicago and follows a Black TV crime reporter in 2009 Chicago. With plenty of twists and turns, Hall's written a gripping tale that will leave you on the edge of your seat until the final page. Additionally, Hall's writing and character work is stellar; the characters are well-rounded and complex while remaining likable. I appreciate the fact that Hall has set the book in 2009, with it being on the cusp of social media, true crime and trials on TV it puts Jordan right in the middle on the action. It's great to be back with Jordan, who's tough, hard working and determined to prove herself in her career. Hall's experience as a TV journalist shines through and make's Jordan so much more realistic. Hall touches on some sensitive topics, so take care and check the CWs. While you could read this as a stand-alone, you'll gain so much more by reading this series from the beginning; so be sure to pick up book one, [b:As the Wicked Watch|56755535|As the Wicked Watch|Tamron Hall|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1628532990l/56755535._SY75_.jpg|88702290].

The book reads very different from the original. Jordan seems like a completely different character and the plot moves way too fast
