This is an excellent week to showcase this favorite book—Hank Phillippi Ryan’s The Other Woman. (See the two reasons why at the end of this post.) It’sVolume #1 of the Jane Ryland series. In this book, Jane is a journalist out of a job, in disgrace, and possibly owing a million dollars for her supposed error. The publisher’s blurb includes: “Dirty politics, dirty tricks, and a barrage of final twists, The Other Woman is the first in an explosive new series.”
But let me quote from a few reviews. One said: “Boston newspaper reporter Jane Ryland seeks to uncover the identity of the mistress of a Senate candidate. Her investigation intersects with the hunt for a possible serial killer. The book has all the necessary components for a great mystery: murders, sex, scandal, gorgeous characters, money, privilege.”
Another gives this review: “Oh man, this was a tremendously good read. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I LOVE a book that makes me sit up and take notice. The Other Woman did that, and then some. This is a page-turner from the get-go, with protagonists who are flawed but incredibly likeable, trying to solve a mystery that, believe me, turns into one very creative climax.”
When I first read this book, I commented: “There’s the other woman in the red coat, but she’s not the only ‘other’ woman in this engrossing mystery/thriller. From nuanced characters to surprising plot twists, this is one good read for anyone.”
Well, WOW! You bring tears to my eyes. This is the most wonderful thing ever.. oh, thank you, dear Norma! Aw. xoxoo
