I read the first in this series when it came out, and have missed the others until now, which actually is kind of delightful, because I know there are some well-written, beautifully crafted novels awaiting me. The author proves both her skill as an investigative reporter and that as a writer, once again.

From the author's website:
Her career is all about the truth—but now, keeping silent may be her last chance to stay alive.

When Boston reporter Jane Ryland reports a hit and run, she soon learns she saw more than a car crash—she witnessed the collapse of an alibi, and now she's under pressure to tell all to the police. She's also digging up the inside scoop for an expose of sexual assaults on Boston's college campuses for the station's new documentary unit, and is working with a victim to reveal her heartbreaking experience on camera. But, a disturbing anonymous message—SAY NO MORE—has Jane really and truly scared. Who is supposed to keep quiet? And why?

Homicide detective Jake Brogan is on the hunt for the murderer of Avery Morgan, a hot-shot Hollywood screenwriter. Her year as a college guest lecturer just ended at the bottom of her swimming pool in the tight-knit and tight-lipped Boston community called The Reserve. As Jake chips his way through a code of silence as shatterproof as any street gang, he'll learn that one newcomer to the neighborhood may have a secret of her own.

A young woman faces a life-changing decision—should she go public about her assault? What's really going on behind closed doors at a prestigious Boston college? And will the killer strike again? Jane and Jake—now semi-secretly engaged and beginning to reveal their relationship to the world—are both on a high-stakes quest for answers as they try to balance the consequences of the truth.

My sister gave me this when I went to visit. I am just now starting it.

I've never read this series before, but the story stands alone enough it doesn't effect your enjoyment if you haven't read the rest of the series. I did feel there was a lot of build up for a very predictable and quickly wrapped up resolution. I doubt I'll read more of this series.
