About this listen
When the murder of a “nobody” triggers an avalanche...
Every human life is supposed to be important. Everyone should matter. But that’s not the case in the cutthroat TV news-rating world where Clare Carlson works. Sex, money, and power sell. Only murder victims of the right social strata are considered worth covering. Not the murder of a “nobody”.
So, when the battered body of a homeless woman named Dora Gayle is found on the streets of New York City, her murder barely gets a mention in the media. But Clare's TV news director, who still has a reporter’s instincts, decides to dig deeper into the seemingly meaningless death.
She uncovers mysterious links between Gayle and a number of wealthy and influential figures. There is a prominent female defense attorney, a scandal-ridden ex-congressman, a decorated NYPD detective, and - most shocking of all - a wealthy media mogul who owns the TV station where Clare works.
Soon, there are more murders, more victims, more questions. As the bodies pile up, Clare realizes that her job, her career, and, maybe, even her life are at stake as she chases after her biggest story ever.

This is the second in the Clare Carlson Mystery series, written by R.G.Belsky, following Clare's own life story as she noses out stories to put on TV. The tale which begins with the killing of an unknown street person becomes one far more complex than Clare, or the reader, could anticipate with curious twists before the final denouement. Meanwhile, the reader also travels in the head of Clare as she also pursues her own life and even though this is volume two, Below the Fold easily works as a stand alone, intriguing and filled with interesting, well characterized protagonists. Narration is by Chris Kenworthy, who's pleasant to hear voice also delivers gently individual separate voices for each of the characters in a good, well paced performance.
I was fortunate in being freely gifted with a complimentary copy of Below the Fold, by the rights holder, at my request, via Audiobook Boom. Thank you. This mystery, told without undue hystrionics, was compelling and hard to put down. There are, of course, minor flaws but nothing to stop the enjoyment of the story, a good investigative hunt for a killer that I would recommend to anyone fond of reading this genre. I am personally looking forward to book three
Every investigation has a life of it's own.
