Reputation Review

Reputation by Sara Shepard is a fast-paced thriller that takes place in a small college town where scandalous secrets and affairs are exposed after a hacker releases 40,000 emails onto the internet. As the town scrambles to cope with the fallout, things take a dark turn when Dr. Greg Strasser is found murdered, and Kit Manning’s life is turned upside down. With the help of her sister, investigative reporter Willa, she sets out to uncover the truth and bring the killer to justice.

The novel is told from multiple points of view, which adds to the intrigue and keeps the story moving at a rapid pace. The characters are well-developed, with their own secrets and motivations, and the plot is full of twists and turns that will keep readers guessing until the very end. Shepard’s writing is engaging, and her ability to create tension and suspense is impressive.

However, while Reputation is a gripping thriller, it falls short in some areas. The story is at times predictable, and some of the plot twists feel forced and contrived. Additionally, the characters are not always likable, which can make it difficult to fully invest in their stories.

Overall, Reputation is a solid thriller that will appeal to fans of the genre. While it may not be groundbreaking, it is an enjoyable read that will keep readers engaged until the final page. Shepard is a talented writer, and I look forward to continue reading her books. I would give Reputation 3.5 stars out of 5.
