Whisper Network is a different kind of book. It's part mystery but also part social commentary and I found it fascinating as the latter and adequate as the former. Four women work for Truviv. Three are lawyers: Sloane, Ardie, and Grace. Rosalita cleans the office building at night. In the prologue we learn someone has fallen off the top floor of the Truviv building. As the story opens, the CEO of the company has died suddenly (not the dead person from the prologue). When it looks like Sloane's boss is on track to become the next CEO, she and the other women are faced with the dilemma of how much to share about his history of sexual harassment. While the mystery part revolves around what happened to the person who fell off the building, the more interesting part of the book is the narration from the four main characters. Each has had to deal with sexual harassment in different ways and it has affected their lives and personalities in different ways. I found it unique that in each woman's POV, the author slips into the use of "we" occasionally when referring to how women negotiate the corporate world. That usage brings the reader closer to the story and made for an intriguing read.
