I have enjoyed so many of Phillippi Ryan's thrillers and this one is very entertaining. The main character is a public relations advisor that helps her clients with crisis management.  I loved the premise of having a PR advisor as the main character. Arden Ward is falsely accused of sleeping with a client, but her boss gives her one last assignment to help salvage her professional reputation. She is asked to assist the wife of a successful man recently acquitted for vehicular homicide deal with the fallout from his sensational case.

The story is interesting, but bogs down somewhat in the middle. Arden's efforts seem to go in circles as she tries to get to the truth of what really happened in the original incident as well as current threats that are putting her clients and herself in danger. I couldn't figure out all the twists and turns in this book, but I was able to figure out a big part of it. I was surprised the savvy Arden didn't see through one person's lies. Overall, One Wrong Word is an entertaining book with a strong finish, making up for some of the slower portions of the story.

I received an advance copy of this ebook at no cost from Tor Publishing Group and Forge Books, My review was voluntary and unbiased.
