Eleanor Vance founds The Herd, a women-only coworking space and social club in New York, with a feminist brand and a glossy following. When she goes missing, her business partner Hildy and Hildy's best friend Katie, a Herd insider, are pulled into the search. Andrea Bartz uses the disappearance to look at the machinery of female-focused startups: curated empowerment, Instagram polish, and the pressure to keep the brand intact even when something has gone badly wrong.
Thriller fans who like a contemporary setting, unreliable perspectives and a dig at wellness-style branding will find a quick, twisty read. It's a good pick for a weekend when you want a mystery that is as interested in friendship and image as in the whodunit.
Escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
