Taking a Chance

I enjoyed Taking a Chance by Deborah Burrows which is set in wartime Perth.  Reporter Nell Fitzgerald attends the sentencing of a woman convicted of murdering her lover.  Nell meets an American serviceman , Johnny Horvath from the American Press Corps who wants to prove the innocence of the murderess.  Nell and Johnny inevitably have a heavy romance while at the same time re-investigating the murder and tracking down young female runaways. Story told in first person, bit corny and predictable, but a good "light and fluffy" read. 31/2/5
