The end of her high-profile broadcasting career came too soon for TV journalist Alison Reynolds-bounced off the air by executives who wanted a "younger face." With a divorce from her cheating husband of ten years also pending, there is nothing keeping her in L.A. any longer. Cut loose from her moorings, Ali is summoned back home to Sedona, Arizona, by the death of a childhood friend. Once there she seeks solace in the comforting rhythms of her parents' diner, the Sugarloaf Café, and launches an on-line blog as therapy for others who have been similarly cut loose.

Suddenly something dark and deadly is swirling around her life . . . and a killer may be hunting her nex… (altro)

This is the first 'Ali Reynolds' book by J.A. Jance I have ever read. Over the years I followed her earlier series. While trying to find a mp3 book to listen to from our Library Overdrive collection I stumbled on this.

[a: J.A. Jance|3453636|J.A. Jance|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1285182279p2/3453636.jpg] does not ever let the reader down. [b: Edge of Evil: Ali Reynolds #1|338374|Edge of Evil (Ali Reynolds, #1)|J.A. Jance|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1439147984s/338374.jpg|469622] had me hooked from the first few minutes of listening to reader Kirsten Kairos lure me into the life of Ali Reynolds.

This was a wild ride, with characters who ring true. I will recommend this series in Readers Advisory situation. (

I found this book to be a lot of nothing. Even the tile Edge of Evil didn't seem to correlate to anything. The synopsis: A couple of good "guys" got hurt, and a couple of good "guys" died, the end. Other than that it was a whole ton of pedestrian filler that meandered around adding not much of anything, and then in the last few pages it all comes together in a way that is almost completely separate from the story. And the bits that got filled in happen to be the more interesting parts, but how those played out we'll never know since that's where it ended.

All the characters were stereotypes and the themes trite and pedantic; as whole I found this particular J.A. Jance dull and unimaginative. (

Ali Reynolds gets sacked for a younger newscaster, and then becomes involved in solving the mysterious death of her best friend, who has been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig;s disease.) She becomes a blogger, and a detective, while dealing with her own personal issues, including wrongful termination and divorce. (

I loved this - the switching between blog posts and the action itself was well done. I liked the characters, too! (

Ali Reynolds, L.A. TV anchor, is fired from her job for being to old. Her husband who works for the same network is more concerned with his position than with helping her. Ali begins suit against the TV station, learns her husband is cheating, moves to Sedona to her house and her son Chris sets her up a blog to get her story out.

At this time, her best friend is killed when she supposedly drove over a cliff in the mountains, due to her medical diagnosis. The police call it a suicide but Ali needs more than their word. Along with blog threats that scare her, she begins to inquire into Reenie’s death.

Excellent read, good info on ALS disease, spouse abuse, and blogging in general. (
