One Wrong Word by Hank Phillippi Ryan
4.0
One wrong word can ruin everything.
Nobody knows that better than crisis manager Arden Ward. Now she’s embroiled in a crisis of her own; after being accused of having an affair with a powerful client, she is given an ultimatum to save her career and reputation. Enter Cordelia Bannister, who needs Arden’s help for her husband Ned. Though Ned was recently cleared of a drunk driving accident, his reputation is destroyed. Arden has two weeks to save this man’s reputation and thereby, her own career. But the more she gets to know Ned and Arden, the more secrets that emerge.
I believe this is the first book I read where “crisis management” was such a big theme and I loved that! I found Arden’s work interesting and unique; she was part detective, part cheerleader and part emotional support. The beginning of this book - detailing Ned’s drunk driving and arrest - hit me hard. To an extent, I have been in Cordelia’s shoes (though luckily, it didn’t have quite the same repercussions). But from the beginning, I found Ned and Cordelia to be a little suspicious and I sensed there was more to the story. The way their story unfolded and Arden’s involvement was quite a wild ride! If you enjoy Hank Phillippi Ryan’s previous books, you will love this one too!
