Loved and hated, the list of suspects includes half his hometown city of Portland, Oregon. Jim Fate spent his hours on air bringing his listeners to a froth with his extreme views and uncanny ability to poke his finger right into the middle of a hot spot, no matter which topic. Lis Wiehl is a new author to me and I really liked her style.moreĪ vocal radio host is killed in studio, leaving three heroines to find the killer. Highly recommend this book to anyone who loves current events, anyone who loves a great mystery, an awesome thriller, anyone who loves to read period. I don’t always agree with him, but he always makes me think, and usually laugh.) When you hear some of the people who call in, the hate that is in their voice, you can see why this might actually be a viable threat to them. (BTW, on the list, our local guy, Bradshaw, is my fave. I tend to be more middle of the road, leaning towards the right, but I listen to whatever is on here, usually Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Jan Mikelson, Bradshaw, etc. I had to laugh because at the end of the book there are letters from radio hosts, from Bill O’Reilly to Mark Levin, saying, awesome book!

The 3 friends in the book, Cassidy, Allison, and Nic are believable and your heart feels for them when they each go through their own personal trials apart from trying to figure out who killed Jim Fate. The book is fast paced, action packed, not one boring moment where you want to put it down and go find something else to do for a bit. What a thriller!
