When a superstar athlete’s son turns up dead in a tiny town on the Virginia coast, crime reporter Nichelle Clarke gets the inside scoop. But she quickly spies a gaping hole her inner Lois Lane cannot ignore.
Determined to unravel the mystery, Nichelle fights off paparazzi cameras and an unexpected rival. She uncovers an illegal moonshine operation, a string of copycat suicides, and a slew of closets stacked with more skeletons than slingbacks. Chasing a killer who’s a breath from getting away with murder, Nichelle realizes too late the culprit has her number—and it might be up.

Jennifer’s Review of Small Town Spin
Review (4 Stars): I was first introduced to the character, Nichelle Clarke, in the anthology, Heartache Motel, that I had the pleasure of reading a few months back. Dateline Memphis was one of my favorite stories from that book and I’m so glad to read her newest adventure, Small Town Spin. Nichelle receives a phone call to do an exclusive interview with the famous family of a teenager who recently committed suicide. What she finds is a mystery that doesn’t quite add up when the clues don’t lead to a troubled young man but one that had so much to live for. As she investigates further, more teenagers are committing suicide in this small town and she is willing to put herself in danger to find answers.
I liked Nichelle because she is such a great character. During most of this book, she was fighting a sinus infection and working long hours to find answers to this mystery which I respected. She was smart, sassy and I loved her determination. The mystery was well-written and engaging until the very last page. I love Ms. Walker’s books and I’m looking forward to reading more in this series.
