Lighthearted mystery with a dash of romance and suspense. When the offer comes to Sally Harrington to write a piece for Expectations, a high-end tabloid magazines, it seems too good to be true. She came home to small town Castleford, CT to take care of her mother. While she's working for the local paper and going with her high school sweetheart, she seems to be settling in. But that's the problem: she's settling -- and she's bored. So an opportunity to write an expose of Cassy Cochran TV network president and mix with the rich and powerful is a powerful temptation. Temptation and opportunities, decisions and mysteries, some going back 21 years to her father's death.
A light read, good characters, small town journalism vs. big city opportunities. Settling vs. striving toward a goal. An enjoyable read.

Harrington gets a cush job writing an expose on a famous broadcaster, who no one seems to have anything bad to say about. I liked the writing style, and Harrington has a funny, interesting voice, and a fun way of looking at things. A great weekend read, or something to take to the pool. Flows well, and ultimately leaves you wanting to know more about the character. ( )
