Murder Off the Record

Rating:
Summary: Can't wait for the author's next book!
Review: I owe my enjoyment of this book to its author. Schulenburg has a great command of her language and her story, her characters and their world. People should read this book for a lot of reasons, but certainly for an encounter with a thoughtful author with a keen eye.

Summary: A thinking person's mystery
Review: Schulenburg delivers a great page-turner, and something more: a compeling exploration of the "dark side" of the First Amendment. She weaves her clever "who dun it" around a thoughtful discussion of the connection between free speech and violence in our culture. She centers her exploration on a novel concept: The First Amendment gives newspapers the right to refrain from publishing socially-damaging information. "Murder Off the Record" is simply a very satisfying book, and I look forward to this author's next release.

Summary: An engrossing mystery and statement on journalism today!
Review: Schulenburg has taken on an important contemporary theme and given us a terrific tale in which to examine it. Both Sabina and Ed Fountain are eminently believable characters, and the various interests at work in the novel keep the reader engrossed, even involved in the eventual outcome. Recommend to anyone who knows corporate machinations, and murder.
