Whip-smart and brutally practical, she outmaneuvers all rivals as she builds her empire. Kate Myles’ THE RECEPTIONIST (Thomas & Mercer 8/1 available in trade paperback and Kindle eBook) is no exception, serving up the most delicious parts of the genre with a fresh new spin.Įmily is a top talent agent who rules the land of talk shows and reality TV. There’s something about the noir genre that’s unfailingly seductive: crime, style, and a cast of morally questionable (but oh so charming) characters. What next? Maybe a second chance she never expected. One apology at a time, Amelia’s looking at the choices she’s made in the past, the new ones she’s making with John, and those she’s making for herself. Amelia resolves to make amends―to those who really deserve it. With the help of John and a lot of champagne, Amelia considers the people she’s wronged, from old besties to former boyfriends to coworkers. As it turns out, though, he’s very good company―and a wake-up call. Let it be better than her epic failure of a fortieth birthday party: an open bar full of no-shows except for John Ellis, a total stranger and the new associate at her ex-firm. Leaving a career that gave her purpose, Amelia can only ask, What next? She’s been fired for not compromising her principles in a high-profile case and then punching her partner in the nose for the misogynistic comment he made in retort (not her finest moment). Life is about to get complicated for Amelia Montgomery, a prominent litigator in Chicago.
