The year is 1971 and Amanda Blackstone is an aspiring investigative reporter stuck with a "society columnist" job. When she overhears a threat at a debutante reception, she eagerly pursues the chance to chase down a killer. Amanda Blackstone is good at a lot of things - but no one will give her the chance to prove it. When her first job at her town's local daily newspaper is as their "society columnist," she uses it to search for any opportunity to take on a case and prove her skills as an investigative reporter. While covering the debutante reception for the daughter of one of the town's wealthiest men, Amanda overhears a veiled threat that leads her to suspect that corporate embezzlement is behind a suspicious suicide. She teams up with experienced fellow reporter, Patrick Maguire, who does his best to rein in her impulsive instincts. The two discover evidence of a shady offshore account, blackmail, and a reprehensible family secret from a generation ago that will end in murder. As her feelings for Pat grow, Amanda realizes her rookie mistakes may have put both their lives in danger. Great for fans who appreciate a fiercely independent sleuth as a main character, Blood Will Tell leads the reader on a harrowing adventure set against the dynamic backdrop of journalism during the turbulent 1970s.
