CRUEL INTENT

In this fourth book of the Ali Reynolds series, Ali thinks she's finally left the fast-paced life of a television journalist behind as she gets situated into quiet Sedona. However, she's frustrated over the slow pace of her home renovations and the intrusion of the television film crew that is documenting the work. When her contractor's wife is murdered and he is the prime suspect, her only recourse is to help clear his name. Karen Ziemba keeps the plot moving at a quick pace. Her characterizations are comfortable, and the main characters, familiar. She matches the high energy level of her main character and moves the story along briskly.
