One Wrong Word by Hank Phillippi Ryan

5.0

Hank Phillippi Ryan has written a complex thriller. Arden Ward is a crisis management expert who is fired due to a false accusation by a client's wife. But, the managing partner of the firm offers Arden a way to save her reputation by representing a man, Ned Bannister, recently acquitted of murder for killing a skateboarder with his car, while intoxicated.
Cordelia, Ned's wife, hires Arden to restore Ned's reputation, however, Ned's lawyer is hit by a car, that looks like Ned's. Ned claims innocence, but when his lawyer awakens in the hospital, she just says one word "Ned".
Arden works to clear his name, but she worries that she is being lied to, but who is lying and who is telling the truth?
I knew who was doing this from the start, but not why. The final reveal was extremely complex, and took a lot of plotting and planning to create the tangled web!
I enjoyed this book and the story line. The changes and the twists kept you guessing if you got it right or not!
