2.5.2024 - One Wrong Word

One Wrong Word by Hank Phillippi Ryan 

Many thanks to NetGalley, Tor Publishing and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest thriller by a favorite, Hank Phillippi Ryan, with the audio perfectly narrated by Gail Shalan - 4.5 stars!

Arden Ward is being forced out of a job she loves after an untrue accusation.  Her boss offers her one last job, intimating that future recommendations rely on her doing it.  Cordelia Bannister wants Arden to salvage her husband's reputation.  Ned Bannister was acquitted of killing a young man on a skateboard in a parking garage after drinking at a New Year's Eve party.  While he is now free, public opinion of him and his family hasn't changed.  But as Arden gets involved with the family to help them, she discovers that she isn't sure who she can trust.

Hank Phillippi Ryan has once again written a story that you will be totally engrossed in - along with Arden, you won't know who you can trust.  It was definitely a cat-and-mouse game that kept me searching for clues and hints as to the real story.  Each time I was convinced I knew what was happening, there was another twist that made me question my thinking.  These characters felt real - full of strong women characters that you will either love or hate.  Perfectly done!
