Many thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow Custom House for gifting me a digital ARC of the debut novel by Wanda M. Morris - 5 stars for a book that kept me glued to the pages. Can't wait to read more from this author!
Ellice Littlejohn is working as a corporate attorney and having a relationship with her white, married boss. When she finds him dead on the floor of his office, she runs, afraid all the secrets she's been keeping could come to light. But when Ellice is promoted to take her boss' position, things go from bad to worse. Suddenly, her promotion doesn't feel right and the police are hovering asking too many questions.
Wanda Morris is a Black corporate attorney, so you know she's speaking the voice of experience in this story of racism and sexism in the business world. But she has created a tight suspense/mystery that will have you questioning lots of people and wondering how everything will play out. Her past is told in alternating chapters - let's hope more people have a Miss Vee in their lives to look out for those who need it. Great book!
