The
Plot:
The
Cutaway draws
you into the tangled world of corruption and cover-up as a young television
producer investigates the disappearance of a beautiful Georgetown lawyer in
this stunning psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Paula Hawkins and
Gillian Flynn.
When
brilliant TV news producer Virginia Knightly receives a disturbing “MISSING”
notice on her desk related to the disappearance of a beautiful young attorney,
she can’t seem to shake the image from her head. Despite skepticism from her
colleagues, Knightly suspects this ambitious young lawyer may be at the heart
of something far more sinister, especially since she was last seen leaving an
upscale restaurant after a domestic dispute. Yet, as the only woman of power at
her station, Knightly quickly finds herself investigating on her own.
Risking
her career, her life, and perhaps even her own sanity, Knightly dives deep into
the dark underbelly of Washington, DC business and politics in an investigation
that will drag her mercilessly through the inextricable webs of corruption that
bind the press, the police, and politics in our nation’s capital.
About the Author:
Christina
Kovac managed newsrooms and produced crime and political stories in the
District. Her career as a television journalist began with Fox 5’s Ten O’Clock
News, followed by the ABC affiliate in Washington, D.C. For the last nine
years, she worked at the Washington Bureau of NBC News. She lives with her
family outside of Washington, D.C.
Review:
I
started out working at the National Public Radio affiliate in Charleston, S.C.
One of our producers recognized my writing talent and mentored me. But one thing
I learned while working with her was that I don’t have the attitude for hard
news. If the Secret Service tells me to stand behind a certain line, I’ll do
so. Mine won’t be the hand with the microphone snaking out of the crowd to get
Prince Charles to answer at least one question before being dragged back behind
the line—as my mentor was.
Virginia
Knightly is who I’d like to be if I ever grow up. She’ll get behind that line
and talk the Secret Service into letting her stay. In fact, she’ll convince
Prince Charles he needs to talk to
her. And if he’s done anything wrong, she’ll prove it, even if she has to risk
her life to do so. As she does when Evelyn Carney goes missing.
Ms.
Kovac created a cast of compelling, intriguing characters. Then she put them
into a fast-paced book I couldn’t put down. In fact, when my granddaughter
texted and said she was on her way to pick me up for my great-granddaughter’s
birthday party, I texted “Okay,” and continued reading when I should have been
grabbing my coat and running out the door. I was annoyed when she texted “Here.”
That’s really bad.
Furthermore,
I couldn’t figure out who did it. First I thought it was one person, and then
another, and then someone else, and back again. It was difficult to tell who
was telling the whole truth, part of the truth, or just flat-out lying. Plus,
it was all mixed in with an upheaval back at the station. And did I mention she
actually uses good grammar? Heaven!
Any
book that almost makes me miss my great-granddaughter’s fifth birthday party is
an absolute MUST READ!
