“Lori Duffy Foster’s No Time to Breathe, set to be published in April of 2023 by Level Best Books, does not disappoint. Scrappy investigative reporter Lisa Jamison walks into her friend’s exercise studio early one morning, shocked to discover she’s stepped into a grisly murder scene. Her friend, barely alive, and bleeding from his throat, dies before the ambulance arrives. Lisa is an immediate suspect. Lori Duffy Foster sets the story’s fast pace and conflict from the onset. The protagonist Lisa must not only prove her innocence, she must find the real killer, all while fighting her way through a complication in her love life.
