If you are looking for a good mystery then I would recommend The Cutway, Virginia Knightly, a nightly news producer for a Georgetown television station, intrigued by a missing person report that comes across her news desk begins looking into the disappearance. With a new news editor trying to edge her out of her job and an anchorman, whom she has mixed emotions about, Knightly finds herself getting involved in more than just a young and beautiful missing lawyer.
"O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!"[1.Marmion is an epic poem by Sir Walter Scott about the Battle of Flodden (1513). Published in 1808.] I am sure that we wish our real news media were as intent on getting to the truth of the matter, as this TV producer. Despite the lack of support from her staff, a police detective, and powerful political opponents Knightly doggedly keeps searching for answers.
The plot is good, I felt the author did a good job of moving the story along. At times the characters are a little flat but, I really didn't mind so much cause I was enjoying the story.
