This first book in a new series has everything needed to get me hooked. The main character, Cari, is a fledgling journalist covering the local sports scene. When she happens to be at a track meet where a student collapses and dies, her investigative skills take off. Set in a university town, the reader is quickly immersed in the life of the university as well as the townspeople who are living on the outskirts.

If the mystery is not enough, Cari is dealing with an internal struggle of trying to do the right thing while also wanting that front page story. How far is she willing to go?

The author did a great job starting this series and giving me, the reader, enough closure for the story but at the same time, I enjoyed the characters so much that I wanted more.
