Night Game: A Kate Henry Mystery - Crime Thriller Novel for Mystery Lovers | Perfect for Book Clubs & Cozy Reading Nights

Another Kate Henry mystery. Henry is a wise-cracking, sometimes arrogant, yet nicely vulnerable sports reporter. She specializes in baseball, following the mythical Toronto Titans in spring training camp. Pretty routine stuff for this tough, experienced, baseball writer, you'd expect. Then another reporter, this one young, attractive and with something of a reputation for round-heeledness turns up dead on the beach and a Titan player is jailed for her murder.Naturally, Henry is pressed to take on the task of proving the accused is innocent. So far so good. What makes this novel noticeably better than average, is the skill and knowledge of the author. Gordon has created a feminine protagonist with a very particular view of her world. It's a view that blends humor, cynicism and a quick tongue with obvious knowledge of baseball. In fact, reporter Kate Henry has a good deal in common with Author Alison Gordon. This is all to the good.If you're a baseball fan, you'll likely enjoy this novel. If you like strong intelligent female protagonists who don't come off as Wonder Woman, but who are real, and if you enjoy puzzles, good writing and interesting characters, you'll probably enjoy this novel.
