Books like Edge of evil by J. A. Jance
Alison Reynolds’s high‑profile broadcasting career ends abruptly when network executives replace her with a younger face. Coupled with a pending divorce from her cheating husband, she leaves Los Angeles behind and returns to Sedona, Arizona, to mourn the death of a childhood friend. Ali finds comfort in her parents’ diner, the Sugarloaf Cafe, and starts an online blog to help others who have been abruptly cut loose. When threatening posts begin to appear on her blog, she discovers that sharing her story can make her more exposed than sitting behind a newsroom desk—and far more dangerous. Suddenly a dark menace surrounds her, and a killer may be stalking her next.
