In case you’ve missed it, over on the Notes from the Cave blog, I’ve been sharing the prologue, chapter one, and chapter two of The Reporter at the Gate, the first murder mystery in my Rookie Reporter Amateur Sleuth Mystery series. Up next is chapter three where the suspense is ramped up and the stakes are raised for James, heightening his investment into figuring out what happened to Albert Harrington. Since this chapter of my murder mystery is already available in Amazon’s Look Inside, I’m including it here as well so you can read everything in order without jumping between platforms.

In case you’ve missed it, I’ve been sharing the opening chapters of the first murder mystery in my Rookie Reporter Amateur Sleuth Mystery series, The Reporter at the Gate, on my Notes from the Cave blog. Up next after the prologue and chapter one is chapter two, where James arrives for what he believes will be a boring interview with the soon-to-be sworn-in resident Judge, Albert Harrington. But he quickly discovers that he has bitten off more than he can chew. And just like in every good murder mystery, his ordinary world is about to be disrupted in a big way.

If you read the original edition of this story, back when it was called The Candidate, you’ll know it leaned a little too close to “political thriller” territory in title only. The story itself was always a murder mystery, just one wearing the wrong coat. Think: fur coat in the height of summer. So, in this blog post, I’ll share with you the next chapter in the Reporter at the Gate

I have some exciting news! If you’ve a James Lalonde Insider, you’ll know that I’ve released a second edition of book one in the Rookie Reporter series with a new title: The Reporter at the Gate. The original title, The Candidate, sounded a bit too much like a political thriller when in reality it was a gripping murder mystery, which created some minor disappointment for readers expecting something political. The new title better reflects the murder mystery at the heart of the story.

In my previous blog post, I mentioned that I was working on not one but three writing projects. One of those writing projects was James Lalonde Book Three.
