Exposure

by Donna Ball

Have you ever done anything you’re ashamed of?For popular talk show host Jessamine Cray, it started as just another piece of slightly weird fan a single typed line on an unsigned sheet of paper that Have you ever done anything you’re ashamed of? No one takes it as a threat until the second communication comes, and then the third… a blood-stained prom dress, a disfigured photograph from a high school year book, copies of private papers to which no one but Jess should have had access. Every celebrity’s worst nightmare has come true for Jessamine she is being stalked, and shame is her terrorist’s secret weapon.Old friends, former lovers, guests on her talk show, colleagues and family members… no one is safe from suspicion, and everyone has a motive—even Jess. As the police investigation turns its spotlight on Jess herself and uncovers her most deeply buried secrets, Jess can only watch in helpless horror as her tormentor’s diabolical plan unfolds. First he will shatter her trust, then he will shake her peace of mind … and then he will come for her.And by the time she sees him coming, it will be too late.Praise for the Work of Donna “A maelstrom of suspense… gripping, intense”--Rendezvous“[Ball] knows how to keep a story moving”--Kirkus Reviews“A Major talent of the genre”--Publisher’s Weekly“A must read”--Examiner.com

It was okay, the criminal was unexpected.

I really enjoyed this book. It didn't take too long to start getting good and the twists and turns were pretty well managed. I like how by the end you've suspected just about every one. I did find that it got a bit muddled when the big reveal started to play out. I found myself knowing who it was and when she tried to play back into the "but is it really" attitude I got a bit frustrated. I would definitely read more by this author. Really well written and the characters were pretty great.

I've enjoyed a couple of this author's Smokey Mt mysteries so I thought I'd give this one a try. I had to push through the first part of it (too much dialogue), finally got hooked on the story and found it mildly entertaining. I will say, though, that I figured out who the killer was very early in the story.

One of the few free Kindle books that I actually enjoyed, Exposure was a quick, entertaining read, though somewhat predictable.

A pretty talk show TV hostess is being stalked. It all starts with a letter in her fan mail asking, "What are you ashamed of." Lots of twists and turns....a well written book.

I loved this book. Lots of twists and turns. Donna Ball is a very talented author. I loved her Ladybig Farm series. I will definitely read more of her books.
