All Her Little Secrets by Wanda M. Morris
Genre: Thriller
Release: November 2, 2021
Everyone has something to hide. . .
Ellice Littlejohn seemingly has it all: an Ivy League law degree, a well-paying job as a corporate attorney in midtown Atlanta, great friends, and a “for fun” relationship with a rich, charming executive, who just happens to be her white boss. But everything changes one cold January morning when Ellice arrives in the executive suite and finds him dead with a gunshot to his head.
And then she walks away like nothing has happened. Why? Ellice has been keeping a cache of dark secrets, including a small-town past and a kid brother who’s spent time on the other side of the law. She can’t be thrust into the spotlight—again.
But instead of grieving this tragedy, people are gossiping, the police are getting suspicious, and Ellice, the company’s lone black attorney, is promoted to replace her boss. While the opportunity is a dream-come-true, Ellice just can’t shake the feeling that something is off.
When she uncovers shady dealings inside the company, Ellice is trapped in an impossible ethical and moral dilemma. Suddenly, Ellice’s past and present lives collide as she launches into a pulse-pounding race to protect the brother she tried to save years ago and stop a conspiracy far more sinister than she could have ever imagined. . .
Dru’s Short Musing:
From the first page to the end, this book kept me engrossed in the story that I could not put down until all was said and done and boy was it all said and done. The author created a non-stop, action-packed, and fast-paced drama that exudes a work environment where corruption is king and be damned if you’re not in the game. Ellice’s past haunts her and finding her boss’ body brings it to the forefront in what she does thereafter, and this is what pushes this drama up a notch with all the wheeling and scheming perpetuated in this suspensefully galvanizing page-turning thriller.
