The Lady Upstairs by Halley Sutton

 

The premise of this book totally lured me in. A group of women blackmailing bad men in the era of Me Too? Um, hell yeah.

I thought the beginning was really well done but it felt like the author didn't really know how to end her book. I found that the beginning really slogged and it ended kind of disappointingly. At first I was like, "Oh my god, why does this have such a low Goodreads rating? What didn't people like about it?" but by the end, I was like, ahh.

Writing style isn't bad and I thought Sutton did a great job writing believably morally grey heroines. I just wanted more depth and sparkle from the story itself.

2.5 out of 5 stars
