Reputation A Novel

From the bestselling author of Anatomy of a Scandal—now a hit Netflix series—a “current, compelling, and very clever” (B.A. Paris, New York Times bestselling author) thriller about a politician whose less-than-perfect personal life is thrust into the spotlight when a body is discovered in her home.

As a politician, Emma has sacrificed a great deal for her career—including her marriage and her relationship with her teenage daughter, Flora. The glare of the spotlight is unnerving for Emma, particularly when it leads to countless insults, threats, and trolling as she tries to work in the public eye. As a woman, she knows her reputation is worth its weight in gold but as a politician, she discovers it only takes one slip-up to destroy it completely. Flora is learning the same hard lessons at school as she encounters heartless bullying. When another student takes her own life, Emma lobbies for a new law to protect women and girls from the effects of online abuse. Now, Emma and Flora find their personal lives uncomfortably intersected…but then the unthinkable happens. A man is found dead in Emma’s home. A man she had every reason to be afraid of and to want gone. Fighting to protect her reputation and determined to protect her family at all costs, Emma is pushed to the limits as the worst happens and her life is torn apart. Another breathless and twisty novel from an absolute “master of suspense” (CrimeReads), Reputation “races along through storylines so tense and sharp and well-crafted, there’s not a minute to put it down. An outstanding read” (Ashley Audrain, New York Times bestselling author).
