The first in the Figure Skating Mystery series.
I was inspired to read this as the winter olympics was going on. It was pretty shakey for a mystery and I wasn't overly impressed with it. If I hadn't bought the 2nd one in the series at the same time as the first - I probably wouldn't have read on in the series.

This is the first in a series about Bex, a figure skating researcher for 24/7 news. She is a year out of college and does research for Frank and Diane who are past skating champs and now commentators.
After the world competition a judge is found dead and there is suspicion surrounding her death, was it suicide or a murder? And why did she vote for one skater over another for the gold medal?
This was an ok book.....didn't really move me like others but not bad.

Bex is a researcher for the 24/7 network. The network is covering the World Championship of figure skating. Things are pretty status quo until one of the judges causes an upset when her score gives the gold medal to the Russian skater and to the skater from America. The judge winding up dead the next day doesn't help. Gil, Bex's boss, tells her she needs to find out who killed the judge for the final show or she will be out of a job next season. So she puts her researcher skills to the test to find out what really happened.
This was a tough read for me. The main character Bex annoyed me and there were details that seemed unnecessary. Bex came across as someone who needed to desperately cut back on the caffeinated beverages. I got into it enough to want to know who did it, but not sure if I really liked it. I might try the next one in the series to see if it the same way, and then decide. Very frustrating!
