Alex Mark moves to New York City and is a copy editor; it’s supposed to be a new start for her. She loves reading the advice column Dear Constance. But the author of that column, Francis Keen, has passed away. Now The Herald is looking for someone to take over the column. Alex applies, thinking she would never get the job, but she does. But once at the office, strange things seem to be occurring. The murderer was never found; she gets strange letters at the office, and she can’t help but be curious. She becomes suspicious of her boss. Investigating on her own leads her to a dangerous situation where she may not make it out alive.
I really enjoyed this book! Alex is relatable and honestly, I would love to have a job as an advice columnist! Though, realistically, I’m probably not very good at giving advice. Alex is though, and I appreciated reading some of her advice. The story is interwoven with letters from Dear Constance from Lost Girl. It was interesting to read those letters and to later find out how they fit into the storyline. I loved this touch.
This is a fast and easy read – it’s like a popcorn mystery. It’s interesting and the reader will find it easy to keep turning the pages. The mystery was a good one! I didn’t see the twists coming at all. And there was more than one, which of course I loved.
This book will be available on August 13, 2024. You can check it out here.
