In the intriguing murder mystery Off the Air by Christina Estes, readers are taken on a thrilling ride through the competitive world of broadcast journalism. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Phoenix, Arizona, we meet Jolene Garcia — a dedicated young woman TV reporter with an insatiable hunger for stories that matter.
Estes deftly weaves a captivating murder mystery storyline that snags your attention from the very first page. The sudden death of controversial radio talk show host Larry Lemmon sends shock waves through the local media landscape... And immediately the suspects and secrets start to emerge as the details of the crime scene and subsequent clues are explored.
With an air of palpable mystery and a bevy of clues only Jolene seems to notice, Off the Air is as much a testament to the tenacity of a well-written protagonist as it is a complex web of suspense. This book is a worthy addition to the murder mystery genre, offering a fresh perspective wrapped in layers of meticulously crafted tension and a narrative that dares the reader to solve the puzzle alongside its intrepid reporter.
Perfect for murder mystery enthusiasts who prefer murder mysteries without a gory brutal murder or serial killer...

PUBLISHER BOOK SYNOPSIS
Jolene Garcia is a local TV reporter in Phoenix, Arizona, splitting her time between covering general assignments — anything from a monsoon storm to a newborn giraffe at the zoo — and special projects. Stories that take more time to research and produce. Stories that Jolene wants to tell.
When word gets out about a death at a radio station, Jolene and other journalists swarm the scene, intent on reporting the facts first. The body is soon identified as Larry Lemmon, a controversial talk show host, who died under suspicious circumstances. Jolene conducted his final interview, giving her and her station an advantage. But not for long.
As the story heats up, so does the competition. Jolene is determined to solve this murder. It’s an investigation that could make or break her career — if it doesn't break her first...
