"Sloane, Ardie, Grace, and Rosalita have worked at Truviv, Inc. for years. The sudden death of Truviv's CEO means their boss, Ames, will likely take over the entire company. Each of the women has a different relationship with Ames, who has always been surrounded by whispers about how he treats women. Those whispers have been ignored, swept under the rug, hidden away by those in charge. But the world has changed, and the women are watching this promotion differently. This time, when they find out Ames is making an inappropriate move on a colleague, they aren't willing to let it go. This time, they've decided enough is enough. Sloane and her colleagues' decision to take a stand sets in motion a catastrophic shift in the office. Lies will be uncovered. Secrets will be exposed. And not everyone will survive. All of their lives--as women, colleagues, mothers, wives, friends, even adversaries--will change dramatically as a result."--… (more)

Pretty good, definitely saw a good bit of it coming from the beginning. ( )

I enjoyed this book. The expressions of doubt made be these strong women are spot on and are applicable to all women. ( )

(I am using this book for my "Beach Read" Category of Extreme Book Nerd. Because I read it at the pool. Pool. Beach. Same thing. ;)

"Whisper Network" was Reese Witherspoon's July book club pick. I had hopes for it. It's four women who have their own #metoo battles on their hands. And then there is a murder mystery midway through the novel. It is a novel that advocates for better workplace treatment for ALL individuals--men and women, bigwigs and custodial staff.....It is very timely in the subject matter.

However, I did not feel any of the characters were likable. The story was all over the place. It was almost TOO in your face. I wouldn't reread it. ( )

A little transparent but there was one little bombshell that I didn't see coming. It did feel like the author saved all the good stuff until the end, and then dropped it all in quick succession. I would have like to see a little more thoughtfulness in tying up the loose ends. Also I think it would have been interesting to have had a little of Ames's perspective - he was kind of a one note character and I didn't really feel one way or the other about him until the very end, it wasn't a very convincing characterization of an evil man. Four stars for women standing up for themselves and for Sloane's daughter punching her bully in the face - TWICE! ( )

It all started in a bathroom stall and an overheard conversation about a list of men.

A group of women taking the “Good Ol’ Boys” network and flipping it to their advantage. Whisper Network is a book of the times we live in. A warning, an awareness, a standing together.

With so many possible suspects how can we ever pinpoint the killer? ( )
