    About this audiobook

    Dirty politics, dirty tricks, and a barrage of final twists, The Other Woman is the first in an explosive new series by Hank Phillippi Ryan. Seduction, betrayal, and murder—it'll take a lot more than votes to win this election.

    Jane Ryland was a rising star in television news…until she refused to reveal a source and lost everything. Now a disgraced newspaper reporter, Jane isn't content to work on her assigned puff pieces, and finds herself tracking down a candidate's secret mistress just days before a pivotal Senate election.

    Detective Jake Brogan is investigating a possible serial killer. Twice, bodies of unidentified women have been found by a bridge, and Jake is plagued by a media swarm beginning to buzz about a "bridge killer" hunting the young women of Boston.

    As the body count rises and election looms closer, it becomes clear to Jane and Jake that their cases are connected…and that they may be facing a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to silence a scandal.

      The book jacket says "first in a series.". I think it can be a good one. Boston locale. Print journalism and police cooperation. Plenty of excitement, twists and turns. Good characters. Waiting for the next one.

      Jane Ryland was a rising star in television reporting until she refused to reveal a source and found herself on the wrong side of a million dollar lawsuit. Forced to leave her high profile job, Jane turns to investigative newspaper reporting where she is assigned to a fluff piece about a Senate candidate’s wife. But what starts as fluff soon morphs into a potential scandal when Jane uncovers a possible extramarital affair between the candidate and a stunning woman who shows up at political rallies in a bright red coat and inserts herself into the campaign.Meanwhile, woman are dying, murdered by what appears to be a serial killer stalking the streets of Boston and Jake Brogan is the detective working to solve the cases. Jake and Jane’s lives are intimately entangled…and now it seems that their professional lives are also linked. Could Jane’s “other woman” be somehow connected to the murdered women? And is Jane herself in danger?Hank Phillippi Ryan’s newest novel is the first in a planned series of thrillers, and it was intriguing enough to keep me turning the pages to unravel the twisty plot. Ryan has created a strong, interesting female character in Jane Ryland. Jane’s ambition is only surpassed by her tendency to get dragged into complicated and potentially career-ending situations. Ryan creates a bit of sexual tension between Jane and detective Brogan who may have some competition with Jane’s boss, “hot” Alex.Narrated in multiple points of view, the novel keeps the reader guessing until the end. Tightly plotted and filled with political and romantic intrigue, this is a book which will appeal to readers who like the suspense-thriller genre. It is a quick read and was good enough to make me look forward to the next installment of Jane Ryland’s adventures.

      This was my first time reading anything by Hank Phillippi Ryan (a name which greatly intrigues me, by the way) and was interested to see how the author's background in politics, media, and reporting entered into a novel that promised to be about all of the above. The copy I read was an Advanced Reader copy of the book from Tor (thank you very much, by the way.)It took me a little while to get into the rhythm of the book and sort the characters all out. Once I found the rhythm of the story, I could begin to appreciate the conflicts and drive that fills the main character Jane. She'd been a rising star reporter for a Boston TV station, until her unwillingness to reveal a source lost a huge court case, and cost the station a passel of money and Jane her job. (Darn that integrity. It can turn around and kick you in the arse. But at least you've kept your integrity.)Jane ends up working at a city tabloid, where instead of chasing the big story of the day (is there a serial killer loose in Boston, slaying women and leaving them near bridges), she's sent off to do a fluff piece on the wife of one of the candidates running for office. Except Jane may have stumbled on a bigger story -- does this same candidate have another woman in the background?To complicate matters, for both Jane's emotional heart, and a few other things, the cop working on the "there is no bridge killer say the police" case is Jake, Jane's forbidden heartthrob. Forbidden, because even though they both lust after each other and know it, to be involved could and would compromise their jobs. (Darn that integrity again!)There are more twists, people who aren't what they seem, and several very attractive blonde young women who seem to be making a play for the candidate (who coincidentally is the ex-Governor.)I followed those twists and turns, anticipated a few, got annoyed that one of the main characters seemed to be mobile phones ringing and texts pinging -- what did we do in the age before all this electronic communication?) I wasn't entirely sure how I felt about the romantic aspects of the story -- those rang less true to me than other parts. I wasn't quite sure if I should be rooting for Jake (aka Jakey when she's mooning about him) or Alex (her new boss that her friend calls "Sexy Alex") or someone entirely else. All in all, I did learn a some interesting things about media and politics, as well as a bit more about dysfunctional relationships, unstable, unscrupulous people, and some of the more seedy aspects of our society. I'm glad I read this book, and will look for more by this author with a name that fascinates me. She's apparently got an award-winning series under her pen already, which I will have to explore. I expect this book is the first in a new series featuring Jane and friends.

      The premise of The Other Woman is that a disgraced television reporter from a Boston news station tries her hand at journalism and tries to redeem herself by investigating a scandal involving a candidate in an upcoming election. Throw in a serial killer investigation that may or may not be connected to the scandal and Hank Phillippi Ryan delivers a novel that keeps the reader guessing up until the last chapter.
      Jane Ryland is the disgraced television reporter. She takes a job as a journalist at a local Boston newspaper after she is forced out of her career as television reporter because she wouldn’t reveal a source. The job at the newspaper is a step down but Jane tries to look at it as an opportunity to redeem herself and her name. Jane uses the investigative reporting skills she’s famous for to figure out who the players are in the scandal. She’s in search of “the other woman” but what that exactly means, and who is involved, is not clear.
      Jake Brogan is the detective working on the serial killer case. The “Bridge Killer” has struck again and the media and the public are starting to panic. Jake doesn’t want to believe there’s a serial killer on the loose so he works to prove the cases are unrelated and not the work of one killer. As Jake and Jane work together more, they start to see events and people their cases have in common. They need to work fast to make sure no more women are murdered and before the election results are final.
      Being an investigative reporter, Ms. Ryan definitely knows her way around a case and a newsroom. Between the scandal and the murders, she packs a lot of action into the short chapters. I got a little confused about who was who because there are so many of different characters and obviously, not everyone is who they seem. In the end, though, I’m glad I stuck with The Other Woman because the ending was satisfying and I’m looking forward to seeing what else Ms. Ryan has in store for Jane and Jake.
