Former reporter's new novel features Valley institutions — including Axios Phoenix
Christina Estes' new mystery novel is chock-full of local references, including one that's especially near and dear to our hearts — a fictional Axios Phoenix reporter. The big picture: " The Story That Wouldn't Die," Estes' second book featuring tenacious television reporter Jolene Garcia, was officially released Tuesday. The intrigue: There's a brief appearance by a fictional Axios Phoenix reporter whose name, Jessmy Doehm, is a mash-up of the two reporters who make this newsletter happen every day. Estes was a longtime Valley journalist who spent years with KJZZ. Zoom in: Garcia's latest adventure has her delving into City Hall corruption, a fitting follow-up to the Emmy-winning reporter's investigation into a controversial radio host's murder in Estes' first book. Part of the story that revolves around development and the displacement of residents was inspired by Estes' reporting, she said. Between the lines: The book in many ways is a love letter to Phoenix, with Garcia visiting restaurants and landmarks throughout town, including Miracle Mile Deli, Sweet Republic, Steele Indian School Park and Fair Trade Cafe. It also opens with a fictionalized version of the 2016 incident in which then-Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton got stuck in an elevator at City Hall. Estes told Axios that Luana's Coffee and Beer added a secret menu item because of the book, so pay attention to the references. "The book's dedication says it all: "To Phoenix, for welcoming me, challenging me, and cheering me," she told Axios Phoenix. My thought bubble: I was especially happy to see Garcia get lunch at Chino Bandito. The north Phoenix Chinese-Mexican fusion eatery has been one of my favorite restaurants for 30 years.

Controversial ‘Family Feud' Episode Lands Host Steve Harvey and Game Show's Team in Hot Water
Fans of Family Feud are furious about a recent episode that featured an all-trans team who was raising money for sex workers, spurring plans to radically shake up the game show franchise, sources tell the National Enquirer. Insiders say the game show has been pushing the envelope for years, but this latest uproar has landed longtime host Steve Harvey in the hot seat. On the July 31 episode of Celebrity Family Feud, which airs on Disney-owned ABC, actress Laverne Cox led the all-transgender team featuring singer Mila Jam, actress Joslyn De Freece, actress and singer Peppermint and TV personality Ts Madison. They were playing to raise money for the latter's charity, the Ts Madison Starter House, per Daily Mail. 'The show has been under fire for years for pushing boundaries, but this is one of the most controversial scenarios they've had in a long time,' says an insider. Viewers' eyebrows shot up when jokes about 'free balling' and other crude innuendos peppered the dialogue, which kicked off when Steve asked Ts if he could call her Ts. 'Of course. Listen, I take it short or long,' Madison cooed suggestively. Harvey, 68, looked straight at the camera, feigning a look of shock. 'Steve Harvey, it's okay to free ball, we're free balling today,' Ts purred, alluding to men who don't wear underwear. Fans were quick to vent their anger on social media. 'Whatever individuals that 'green lighted' this show need to be fired. Another notch in Disney's decline,' one fumed. 'Well that's one show I won't be watching,' another chimed in. Show insiders agreed, griping, 'Being tacky and obnoxious to get ratings — it's blown the roof open.' 'Even Steve is getting caught in the crossfire and he's used to being the jovial guy who everyone likes, but not anymore. People are accusing him of pandering to the contestants, no matter how over the top and inappropriate they get,' says the insider. So now bosses are discussing the show's future, 'but there's a difference of opinion on how far the jokes should go and whether they should take a totally different route,' says the source. 'There's an inquest going on with people asking how it happened in the first place and what they're going to do going forward to avoid these catastrophes.' Adds the insider, 'The powers that be don't want to lose Steve, but they've got to clean up and do better!' Solve the daily Crossword
