This is a very good debut novel.

Already picked up to be adapted for screen.

The author IS a corporate attorney in ATLANTA. She’s writing what she knows.

---

Family. Secrets. Murder.

When Atlanta lawyer Ellice Littlejohn discovers her boss dead in his office, she walks away instead of calling the authorities.

Why?

Because she 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.

Also, she’s had a long term affair with her boss. And doesn’t want that coming to light.

After that, her life gets … complicated.
