Fiction. Mystery. HTML:

It's not often Alex St. James has a story this tantalizing fall into her lap, only to have it snatched away again. As news researcher at Midwest Focus Television in Chicago, she'd been set to interview a young Polish immigrant woman, pregnant by a Catholic priest.

When the woman is found murdered, and Alex tries to investigate, her boss abruptly reassigns her to a fluff piece, so he can give the hot murder story to the station owner's nephew. But anyone who knows Alex also knows that like Fate, she'll find a way.

Acting without authority and without assistance, she continues to investigate, making some very powerful people in the Chicago Archdiocese uneasy. Suddenly Alex finds herself in the middle of a plot so sinister and far reaching, that the very next thing she might hear are her own Last Rites.

PRAISE FOR DEADLY BLESSINGS:

"Julie Hyzy's riveting mystery, Deadly Blessings, launches appealing sleuth Alex St. James in a twisty, absorbing, headline-current case. First rate." -Carolyn Hart

Alex St. James is a news researcher in Chicago, comes across a story involving murder, the Catholic Church, female Polish immigrants and prostitution. ( )

I am very impressed. This is my first Hyzy novel. I was expecting a light read, but I was surprised. This story became gritty and somewhat hard-boiled. Our heroine is dedicated to getting her story and she also wants to do the right thing and help people. Her job and personal lives are complicated and not going well. She is tough, but not a special forces commando in disguise (like too many fictional heroines, these days). She pursues her case to the bitter end, no matter how difficult it becomes.

Check out this book if you are interested in reading a hard-boiled investigation book with a smart capable woman in charge. Be careful if you are a fan of the Catholic Church, it does not come off well in this story. ( )

In Hyzy’s mystery novel, Chicago TV news researcher Alex St. James suffers the loss of her boyfriend, loses a lead on her biological parents, and is then taken off the biggest story of her career. As if that isn’t enough, her story subject is found floating in the river. Despite everything, Alex sets off to find the facts behind the deceased’s death and before long is enmeshed with another murder. Risking her job and her life, Alex goes undercover only to find that surviving the work politics and exposing lethal corruption can’t even begin to be compared to keeping a killer from making her his next victim.

An excellent addition to the An Alex St. James Mystery series. ( )

Alex St. James is working on a story for her TV station involving a young immigrant from Poland who is impregnated by a Catholic priest and then found murdered when she decides to go public with the story.

I got about half way through this story (49% according to my Kobo) and I realised I just didn't care enough to continue. A lot of it just felt like padding as if the author had been set a certain number of words per chapter and was churning out anything to make up the required number. ( )
