Many thanks to NetGalley, Ballantine Books, and Andrea Bartz for the opportunity to read this gripping book - another one that I couldn't put down! 4.5 stars!
The Herd is an all female shared workspace, complete with spa like amenities. Eleanor, the founder, is the picture perfect leader who has surrounded herself with strong women and her close group of friends from Harvard. Hana, her best friend, is the consummate PR person, putting a positive feminist spin on everything and having women clammer to be accepted into The Herd. Hana's younger sister, Katie, has always been accepted into the best friends' groups. Back in NYC after taking care of their mom and trying to write a book, she's struggling to be accepted into The Herd and back with her friends again. On the day of a big press announcement about the company, Eleanor suddenly disappears without a trace and everyone becomes a suspect because they are all hiding secrets.
Told in alternating voices of Hana and Katie, I thought the writing was wonderful and the suspense gripping. Add in the very current topics of women in power and social media portrayals and this makes for a fascinating read. I didn't read Bartz' debut book but I definitely will now.
