StoryWorld is the nation's favourite morning show, and producer Liz Lyon wants to keep it that way. Her job is to turn real-life stories into thrilling TV - and keep a lid on the cauldron of conflicts and resentments that constantly simmers off-stage.

Behind her Back
Actually 4.5 stars rounded up.
This is book two of a series so, as always, it is best to read book one first. Even though the main threads contained herein are, mostly, complete, as it is very character driven, some of whom have complex histories, to get the very best from it I would really recommend that you do read Woman of the Hour first.
We pick up where we left off, with Liz still the Head of Features for StoryWorld, a daytime magazine type show. She is also still trying to juggle this with all the rest of the things going on in her personal life, most notably her daughter, her ex-husband, and new to the equation, a bit of a rogue builder who has failed to fix her patio doors. If that isn't enough to contend with, there's a new face at work, Lori, employed directly by the station owner she swiftly inveigles herself into all aspects of the show, most of which being well beyond her job description (sales and marketing) and, well, basically makes the rest of their lives pretty much a living hell as sides are taken, lines are drawn and telling tales becomes a fine art as Lori aims to undermine Liz at every turn. But, as we know and remember from book one, Liz is not a woman to mess with. Expert at people managing, ego massaging, and not above a bit of duplicitous behaviour herself, she really goes all in here to restore calm. Well, as calm as life at StoryWorld ever gets!
The gang all returns here, their characters (both good, bad and somewhere inbetween) already established from book one, all continue to mature and develop along the way in this sequel.
One of the things I really love about this author's work is her characterisation. She gets right down to the nitty gritty straight away in this book with the clashes that flow throughout. Most noticeably between the two main presenters, aided and abetted by their agents. Talk about egos! As mentioned in my review for book one, with as many larger than life characters in the book, there is always a danger of them becoming caricatures but, like the series opener, the author just manages to stay mostly on the right side of things here too, at times though I have to say that Lori does skirt that line a tad at times.
Again, like the opener, there is also a lot going on in this book. There are many smaller stories that go hand in hand with the main one which makes the book a bit episodic in nature. This could have got a bit disjointed but the author manages to weave them all together in a way that the whole book just flows nicely along. Some of which are quite topical and current to what is going on in the real world.
