![]() ![]() ![]() Who is the other woman? And if a candidate is having an affair-should the reporter make that public? And just yesterday it got a starred review from Booklist (!) calling it “a perfect pre-election thriller.” It’s a fast-paced page-turner about a Boston reporter on the trail of a Senate candidate’s secret mistress. I’ve called it The Good Wife meets Law & Order. Hank: Well, Julia, you nailed it (as usual) when you called it The Candidate meets Basic Instinct. ![]() Julia: I know what happens in The Other Woman because I’ve already read (and loved) it, but give the rest of us a thumbnail sketch. We sat down to talk about life, writing, and her upcoming book, The Other Woman. Really, if she wasn’t so kind and funny, we’d all hate her. She glamorous, has a great husband and as a writer? She’s won the Agatha, the Anthony and the Macavity awards. She’s won 28 EMMYs (which I’ve seen on her bookshelf, and let me tell you, they make a VERY impressive sight.) She’s been a radio reporter, a political campaign staffer, a legislative aide in the United States Senate and an editorial assistant at Rolling Stone Magazine working with Hunter S. Hank’s real life is like something out of a good novel – her work for “Help Me, Hank” has resulted in new laws, people sent to prison, homes removed from foreclosure, and millions of dollars in restitution. Hank is the on-the-air investigative reporter for Boston’s WHDH TV7. Julia Spencer-Fleming: My friend Hank Phillippi Ryan is just fifty miles shy of being a Maine crime writer. ![]()
