A Mysterious Review of Devil in the Deadline by LynDee Walker. A Nichelle Clarke, Headlines in High Heels Mystery.
Review summary: A solid, if not terribly original, storyline and a strong lead character are the hallmarks of the latest entry in this generally entertaining mystery series, which is marred only by minor problems in how the story plays out, some interpersonal relationships, and most especially when compared to its far superior predecessor.

Devil in the Deadline
LynDee Walker
A Nichelle Clarke, Headlines in High Heels Mystery
Henery Press (January 2015)
Publisher synopsis: When the Richmond police offer an exclusive in exchange for help with a case, nothing — not even a costume party — stops crime reporter Nichelle Clarke from making Manolo tracks to the crime scene. The hunt leads her to a televangelist's compound in the Virginia countryside where the Reverend may be more interested in fat stacks of cash than he is saving wayward souls.
With two sexy guys tangled up in Nichelle's story — and in her heart — work and love are on a crash course for disaster. Pressure pours in from every corner, including a faceless new competitor that means the deadline is always five minutes ago. As secrets threaten and the truth becomes her lifeline, Nichelle must unmask the killer and nail down the story before she's snared in the carefully-constructed web.
