Summary:   "Oh, Mrs. Stark. She was a character." the woman sighs, then smiles and looks at Christine. "Which publication did you say you were with, sweetie? Women's Wear Daily? Vogue?"

Christine makes herself wait a beat, counts to five. "Vanity Fair. Ma'm."

Reccer's Notes:   There are a few really good Christine Everheart stories out there, but this is my favorite.  It hits my competence!kink very hard.  Christine is an ambitious, hard-hitting reporter, and this fic shows that to a tee.  Handed a puff piece on the late Mrs. Maria Stark, Christine realizes that there is something fishy, and goes digging.  I love watching her figure out how to find the pieces to the puzzle, and then put them together, and I love learning about Maria Stark, too.  Very well done and worth the read.
