I’ll admit, I love it for personal reasons—my last name, Munro, is actually a character in the book. Christina and I worked together at ABC15, and I consider her a friend. But even setting that aside, I’d still recommend it. It’s a local Phoenix mystery (and who doesn’t love seeing places you know in a novel?). Plus, if you’ve ever been curious about life in TV news, it gives you a closer, behind-the-scenes look. By the way, her second book is even better!</span><br></p></div> | https://discover.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/search?query=%22off%20the%20air%22%20christina%20estes&searchType=everything&pageSize=10 |
