The Story That Wouldn't Die by Christina Estes

 💖💖💖/5

The Story That Wouldn't Die by Christina Estes, book two in the Jolene Garcia Mysteries series, is an entertaining, well-written, fast paced mystery novel that describing the life of a reporter, with a likable, intelligent female protagonist, newsroom drama, a touch of humor, an engaging mystery, suspense, twists and turns, and a satisfying conclusion.

 

Jolene Garcia, a television reporter in Phoenix, Arizona, is looking for the next big story to share with her community. Her bosses have her running all over town to cover click-bait stories, until a small business owner with ties to the city council dies suddenly in a crash. Jolene doesn’t believe it’s as cut and dry as a simple accident. The victim, Carlos, was asking questions to discover why the same people keep getting the contracts with city hall. While Jolene’s boss wants her to focus on other, more exciting stories, she’s determined to figure out the truth behind Carlos’ tragic death.

 

Jolene is an ambitious, passionate, determined reporter, acting like a dog with a bone with this investigation until she could get to the heart of the story. I enjoyed the tension, suspense, and hunt for the truth. I found the mystery to be intriguing and gripping.
