Produktbeschreibung

Why did the founder of a glamorous coworking space for women disappear? Her best friends will risk everything to uncover the truth. "Perfect for fans of Big Little Lies." -The Washington Post NAMED ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED THRILLERS OF 2020 BY Marie Claire · Newsweek · The Boston Globe · HelloGiggles · Book Riot · PopSugar · CrimeReads · Bustle · She Reads The name of the elite women-only coworking space stretches across the wall behind the check-in desk: THE HERD, the H-E-R always purple. In-the-know New Yorkers crawl over one another to apply for membership to this community that prides itself on mentorship and empowerment. Among the hopefuls is Katie Bradley, who's just returned from the Midwest after a stint of book research blew up in her face. Luckily, Katie has an in, thanks to her sister, Hana, an original Herder and the best friend of Eleanor Walsh, the Herd's charismatic founder. Eleanor is a queen among the Herd's sun-filled rooms, admired and quietly feared even as she strives to be warm and approachable. As head of PR, Hana is working around the clock to prepare for a huge announcement from Eleanor-one that will change the trajectory of the Herd forever. Though Katie loves her sister's crew, she secretly hopes that she's found her next book subject in Eleanor, who's brilliant, trailblazing-and extremely private. Then, on the night of the glitzy Herd news conference, Eleanor vanishes without a trace. Everybody has a theory about what made Eleanor run, but when the police suggest foul play, everyone is a suspect: Eleanor's husband, other Herders, the men's rights groups that have had it out for the Herd since its launch-even Eleanor's closest friends. As Hana struggles to figure out what her friend was hiding and Katie chases the story of her life, the sisters must face the secrets they've been keeping from each other-and confront just how dangerous it can be when women's perfect veneers start to crack, crumble, and then fall away altogether.

Rezensionen

Andrea Bartz breathes new life into the psychological thriller by setting her novels in bitingly modern settings. Her first book, The Lost Night, is set in Williamsburg s party scene; The Herd is a biting satire of a women s workspace like the Wing, and the darkness that may lurk behind that perfectly coiffed sitting room. O: The Oprah Magazine

This thriller offers a nonstop plot and layers of mystery not to mention smart commentary on female friendships and social media. Real Simple

As she did in her debut The Lost Night, Andrea Bartz constructed a complex cast of female characters who will make feminist thriller your new favorite genre. Read The Herd ASAP but maybe not at a coworking space. HelloGiggles

Her hard-hitting debut, The Lost Night, has made Andrea Bartz one to watch, and her second novel, The Herd, confirms her reputation. . . . As someone whose building was recently taken over by a WeWork and who now has to wait ten minutes for the elevator, I can t endorse this book enough. CrimeReads

Darkness swirls beneath the surface of the idyllic setting at the center of this thriller. From its gorgeously haunting opening to its spine-chilling final lines, The Herd delivers an astute exploration of female ambition in a world that tries like hell to keep women down. You won t be able to stop reading this dazzling nail-biter until you unearth every last secret its characters keep buried. Megan Collins, author of The Winter Sister

Andrea Bartz has created another deliciously twisty thriller that is so much more than a page-turner. At its heart, The Herd is an ambitious novel about the complex dynamics of an exclusive all-female coworking space empowering yet cut-throat, open yet exclusive. Filled with insights and biting social commentary about the commoditization of female ambition, The Herd is sure to be one of the spring s buzziest must-reads. Angie Kim, bestselling author of Miracle Creek

A uniquely timely whodunit set in an exclusive, women s only co-working space. The Boston Globe

The Herd begins by following the recipe for a classic whodunit, but a backdrop that speaks to the modern Millennial woman makes this thriller feel fun and fresh. . . . A fast-paced look at friendship, family, ambition and what can happen when carefully built facades start to crumble. San Francisco Chronicle

Bartz packs in plenty of twists, with a deliberate pace that picks up speed at the end. Surprises and suspense married with themes on the nature of womanhood and sisterhood make this ideal for fans of Paula Hawkins s The Girl on the Train or Gillian Flynn s Sharp Objects. Library Journal
