Explosive new novel

FOUND ONLINE: Bob Woodward's explosive new novel released on Tuesday provides a glimpse into the often-private relationship between President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump.

Bob Woodward is an investigative journalist, not a novelist. I'd simply change novel to book.

Of course, this could be the writer's novel way of saying that Woodward's book is pure fiction.
