Eliza Blake is a newswoman on the rise. Well liked and respected by her colleagues at Key News, she's entered a stage where everything seems to be going right. She's finally come to terms with her husband's death and risen above the depression that had temporarily overwhelmed her. She's happy spending time with her adoring young daughter, and a budding romance is making her believe in love all over again. Then Bill Kendall, a senior anchorman, dies unexpectedly, and Eliza is thrust into the limelight — offered her biggest opportunity ever. Everything seems right — and yet wrong. As Eliza starts to suspect that Kendall's death has ramifications beyond the set of the TV show, she begins to unravel a plot of murder, greed, and jealousy that involves players as high up as the White House.
A young journalist finds herself on the threshold of great success; at the same time she seems to have found some unknown, but very determined, enemies. Beth Fowler narrates with a smooth enthusiasm that allows the intrigue and suspense to build naturally. Her most pronounced characterization is for the newswoman's young child; it teeters on being a "baby" voice but avoids being overdone. Her Irish accent for the child's nanny is consistent and unaffected. Otherwise, her characterization is more subtle, relying on inflection, manner and modulations that are credible and natural.
