As the Wicked Watch

I didn't read the
large-print version, but
that's the image I found.
As the Wicked Watch by Tamron Hall, 388 pages

Chicago TV news reporter Jordan Manning is getting sick and tired of her producers and managers overlooking and downplaying the stories of missing black girls. But when one of these girls turns up dead, Jordan is able to convince her bosses to let her do a bit of investigative reporting, diving deep into the community surrounding the dead teenager to search for an answer. But can she do it without getting drawn into the emotions and danger surrounding the girl?

It's nice to read a mystery that really shows how hard reporters work, and this one definitely did that (of course, having an Emmy-winning reporter for an author helps). It's a thrilling story, and I'm looking forward to other Jordan Manning stories in the future.
