This legal thriller is a roller coaster ride from start to finish.
“There were only two people in that elevator and only two possibilities — suicide or homicide.”
It’s late on a Sunday night when two women who work for Claudine de Martineau International (CDMI) get on the elevator in the high rise office building. The doors close and, as the elevator begins its descent, the power goes out. When the doors open into the lobby, only one of them is alive.
I really enjoyed this as it combines all the best elements of the world of company attorneys and their machinations along with a really good story. Though it was a bit predictable as a revenge tale, I liked the nuances of the main characters as they were developed into more than stereotypes. There were surprises along the way as the depth of the plot was fleshed out and the secrets of CDMI were revealed. The author gives the narrative legitimacy as she is a trial lawyer and that makes all the details feel more accurate and plausible.
