I see a lot of bad reviews but I didn’t think this was horrible.   It’s a decent mystery and very detailed on the TV reporter industry and a lot of detail about the Phoenix area.  I can see why it won this “Tony Hillerman” prize because it’s very niche- a debut mystery set in the southwest.  

This teeters the line between a cozy mystery and a more thriller/suspense.  If you like mystery, Phoenix, and TV news, go for it.
