LynDee Walker is on tour now with CLP Blog Tours and Buried Leads
Summary:
When an Armani-clad corpse turns up in the woods, crime reporter Nichelle Clarke smells a scoop. A little digging, and Nichelle uncovers a web of corruption that stretches all the way to Washington, D.C. Politics. Murder. And a dead lobbyist. It’s everything Nichelle’s ever dreamed of.
The cops are playing it close, the feds even closer, and Nichelle’s afraid her boss will assign the story to the political desk any day. Richmond’s new ATF SuperCop makes an arrest before she can say “Louboutin,” but Nichelle’s gut says he’s got the wrong guy.
Her sexy Mafia boss friend warns her off the case, her TV rival is hot on her designer heels, an ambitious copy editor wants her beat, and victims are piling up faster than she can track them down. As Nichelle zeroes in on the truth, it’ll take some fancy footwork to nab this headline before the killer nabs her.
Review:
I hadn’t read the first book in this series, Front Page Fatality, but that did make me like this book any less! I’m a sucker for a good mystery book, and this was hooked me from the beginning. I loved the Mafia boss/love interest angle. But more than just the romance part, I thought Buried Leads was smartly written. There is murder and politics and corruption and Nichelle is right in the middle of it following the clues and trying to crack the case. I have Front Page Fatality on my to-read list simply because I know I will enjoy the story, and look forward to more from this series!

Writing the Headlines in High Heels mysteries gives her the best of both worlds.
