A review by minipanda
One Wrong Word by Hank Phillippi Ryan
3.0
Cordelia Bannister has hired Arden Ward, a skilled PR crisis management expert, to handle the severe backlash that her husband Ned is currently facing. Ned was recently acquitted of a fatal drunk driving accident, but the public seems to be unconvinced of his innocence. The media have been reporting extensively on the case, and Ned and his wife Cordelia have been subjected to negative attention. Cordelia even received threatening texts and calls.
However, just as Arden begins her work, another car accident connected to Ned occurs, leading to renewed scrutiny. As Arden delves deeper into the case, she is faced with the question of whether Ned was truly innocent in the first accident, or whether there is something more to the story that has yet to be revealed.
I found the book to be decent overall, though I did predict the culprit early on which made the story feel a bit slow at times. Nonetheless, the ending was still satisfying thanks to some unexpected twists. I would recommend this book to fans of mysteries, although it may not be as appealing to those who read mysteries frequently.
