'The Call' Girls

They start covering town government, to the consternation of elected officials, and eventually delve into investigative reporting. Legal problems then beset the pair. The novel focuses on the struggles of modern journalism but also, in a humorous vein, highlights the way that Janet and Kitty juggle their roles as mothers with their work as budding entrepreneurs.
