A Great Thriller Novel: The A List, by J.A. Jance (An Ali Reynolds Mystery)

J.A. Jance is one of my all-time favorite mystery writers, and I've read almost every book in each of her three series: The Sheriff Joanna Brady mysteries (that takes place in Arizona); The J.P. Beaumont Detective Mysteries (takes place in Seattle), and the Ali Reynolds (reporter) mysteries. The latest book is part of the Ali Reynolds series called "The A List."

Out of the three series, the Ali Reynolds character was my least favorite, but this book brought the character up to par with the others. This book had me from the start. I read this book in a week (which is super-fast for me). I took it everywhere! READ IT. You won't be able to put it down either.

Here's a review I totally agree with, that will give you an idea about the story:

In this timely "devilish page-turner" ( People ) from New York Times bestselling author J.A. Jance, Ali Reynolds learns that no good deed goes unpunished. More than ten years after the sudden end of her high-profile broadcasting career, Ali Reynolds has made a good life for herself in her hometown of Sedona, Arizona. She has a new house, a new husband, and a flourishing cybersecurity company where her team of veritable technological wizards hunts down criminals one case at a time. But the death of an old friend brings Ali back to the last story she ever reported: a feel-good human interest piece about a young man in need of a kidney to save his life, which quickly spiraled into a medical mismanagement scandal that landed a prestigious local doctor in prison for murder. Years may have passed, but Dr. Edward Gilchrist has not forgotten those responsible for his downfall--especially not Ali Reynolds, who exposed his dirty deeds to the world. Life without parole won't stop him from getting his revenge. Tattooed on his arm are the initials of those who put him behind bars, and he won't stop until every person on that Annihilation List is dead. In this gripping suspense novel from "one of the finest practitioners of the suspenseful thriller" ( The Strand Magazine ), Ali Reynolds and her team race against the clock to stop this ruthless killer--before her own name is crossed out for good.
