- Biografía breve
- Another Day, Another Partner is Rachel's debut novel, but she's been writing all her life, whether it be short stories, satire articles, or the occasional piece of fan fiction. A graduate of Ithaca College, Rachel currently writes business and HR articles by day, and mystery novels by night. Her fascination with crime-solving started at a young age with Nancy Drew books, and carried into adulthood with countless detective shows and novels. Rachel currently resides in the Philadelphia suburbs, where you're just as likely to find her wrapped up in a dark police procedural as a mushy romantic comedy. When she's not reading or writing, Rachel enjoys playing tennis, mixing up fancy cocktails, and traveling to new states.

Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.Readable!
This book was readable-ly average. It was a one night read for me. The characters were decently developed, but the interactions were on the cliche side. The plot had enough little twists to keep the reader from being bored. For a weekend read you won't be overly disappointed, but don't expect this to be an edge of your seat page-turner.
I would have really liked the hero and heroine to have developed a really good, strong friendship. Lust and sex are not the definition and construction of truly strong bonds and they are cheap and cliche plot mechanics that can decrease the value of the story.… (más)

Evie is a small town reporter who is desperately looking for a way out of reporting fluff stories. She had been a crime reporter at a bigger paper in a bigger city but was fired for indiscretions while looking for information.
She gets the opportunity to be the crime reporter once again and succeeds. She soon finds a cold case that deserves another look. She suspects an important affluent family is possibly involved. As she starts to investigate, it takes her into dangerous territories and begins to do stupid things to get her information.
I found Evie and most of the characters interesting and the red herrings abounded. However, there were gaping holes in the investigation that made the entire plot unrealistic. Both Evie, her newspaper and the police did things that were blatantly illegal and any bottom of the class lawyer would be successful in throwing evidence out. Because of all these illegal activities the author had to find a boring predictable ending… (más)

Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.Crime reporter Evie Hartley was at the height of her career, but a series of ethical missteps cost her everything. Now, she’s working for a newspaper’s culture section in Bristol, Virginia, trying to prove to everyone, especially herself, that she’s able to do her job by the book. When there’s an opening for the crime beat, Evie jumps at the chance. And while she manages to impress her boss, she makes an enemy of detective Marcus Pennington she played to get the inside scoop.
She writes a blog and decides to go on a story about Danielle who disappeared ten years ago.
First: fun? Yes absolutely, I liked Evie although she is a bit gullible and naive for a journalist, and I liked Marcus. They had chemistry.
Second: why oh why does she believe a guy who has almost certain something to do with the disappearance of Danielle? Why does she go out with the guy who is an obvious liar and a louse? Some stupid choices she makes for a smart journalist.
Overall: a nice detective / romance and absolutely worth reading.
Disclaimer: I got this book in the Librarything Early Reviewers.… (más)

To Be Noted: This is a cleaner romance despite the “partners in passion” tagline.
Her writing style makes for an easy breezy read, and I’m glad to have found author Rachel Mucha. I would definitely pick up her next book, and would definitely love to see a continuation of this book as a series.
