Light but amusing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book doesn't have the same character development of Beck's Jane da Silva series, but.....I did find myself laughing out loud several times while I was reading it. The main characters are rather sketchy, but the action is fast paced, if somewhat farcical. If you want to spend a few hours reading a light and amusing book, I can recommend We Interrupt This Broadcast. I hope that Beck sees fit to write another in the da Silva series.
One of the funniest books I have read since Catch 22

I found this book listed on NPR's summer reading list. I was not familiar with the author or the title, but I took a chance. The cast of characters will amaze you with their actions - always having you laughing out loud. There is a mystery, but you don't really care 'who did it' because you are asking yourself, 'why did they do that?' If you want to be entertained, amused, and read a well-written book I would recomend this one.
Great read by a talented author

KLEG classical radio station in Seattle is close to being shut down due to a lack of listeners. However, this does not stop recently divorced Alice Jordan from successfully pleading her way into becoming the AM station's new account executive. The owners, siblings Caroline and Franklin Payne, are divided as to the fate of the station. Caroline wants the station to continue as the station's owner while Franklin wants to sell off the white elephant. Franklin orders his sales executive, Ed Costello, to find a buyer. Before Ed can complete any deals, he is found murdered. Alice, who enjoys true crime as a hobby, begins to investigate what happened to Ed. She soon uncovers the sleazy side of the deceased who had connections to a right wing militia group. Still, if the amateur sleuth is not careful, she could become the next victim of the killer. WE INTERRUPT THIS BROADCAST is a humorous amateur sleuth mystery that is fun to read due to the myriad of eccentric, but interesting characters, especially Caroline and a mysterious DJ. The story line is just okay, but K. K. Beck overcomes that with irony that leaves readers laughing while seeking more. Harriet Klausner
