By way of disclaimer I just want to say that I typically write my reviews immediately after I read the book so that the details are fresh in my mind. It's been a couple of weeks since I've read this book so I don't remember all the names of the characters, but I hopefully remember the right details. :)
With that said, this month I will be reviewing All Her Little Secrets by Wanda M Morris. All Her Little Secrets tells the story of Ellice Littlejohn - from her point of view. Ellice works in the legal department of a corporation, is one of the only black people working for the organization and is having an affair with her boss, who she followed to the company after the both left the law firm they'd worked for previously.
The boss she's having an affair with is white and married. They often meet at work before any other employees arrive at the office and that is the plan for the day when Ellice goes up to the 20th floor to meet her boss, only to find that he's been shot and is dead.
As Ellice tries to process the scene before her she remembers that there are no security cameras on the 20th floor so if she leaves, no one will ever know she had found him dead. So she does just that - leaves and pretends she knows nothing because she doesn't want to be in the middle of something like this . . . again.
Then she gets offered the dead boss's job. She says she would like to think about it before accepting, only to find out it was announced within hours of her being offered the job - before she could accept. But it puts her in meetings with upper management. When a particular topic gets brought up she starts to ask questions and gets told to basically mind her own business but it piques her curiosity and she starts digging further.
As she launches her own investigation into things she starts to receive threats and warnings that let her know that someone within the company knows all her secrets and may be trying to set her up to take the fall for the death of the boss in the office. She also learns that the death hits closer to home than she realizes and she finds herself in a race to discover exactly what is going on before it's too late.
Periodically the story goes back in time to share events related to the "again" comment and tell you what she's been through and brought her to this point.
Overall, I thought it was a good book and definitely made me want to read further to find out what happened next - I could recommend it. :)
