12.9.2016 - The Cutaway

The Cutaway by Christina Kovac

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book - a thriller set in the fast-paced world of an evening news program in Washington DC. It has a bit of everything - I learned a lot about the TV news world and it covered murder, politics, intrigue, with some romance thrown in to boot, and it was a great who-done-it that kept me guessing. The author's background is in TV news, so things felt real.

Virginia is the producer of the evening news when she comes across a poster for a missing woman. She has a photographic memory and knows that she has seen this woman on a video. For reasons she can't quite explain to herself, she becomes obsessed with finding out the story behind this missing person. Finding out the answers leads her to suspect everyone she comes into contact with, including those she felt were close to her.

Not wanting to give anything else away, I thought this was a well-written thriller. It's a debut novel so here's hoping there's more to come from this author!
