Damage Control by Denise Hamilton 372 pages

So, this is the first book that I read byHamilton. The book jacket says that she also has an Eve Diamond mystery series and I will put that on my "To Read" list. Maggie Silver has an intense job working for a major PR company. She is called on to help put a lid on breaking news involving celebrity clients. She juggles several cases at once, although the most important case pulls her back down memory lane revisiting her best friend from high school who might have murdered her husband. The friend is the daughter of a senator with presidential aspirations. The murder of his aide pulls Maggie back to the family. She would prefer not to get involved, but her company knows everything about her (like how strapped she is for money for her mother's health treatments) and insists. Maggie has her own demons (like her reliance on a certain pill) but feels guilt when she thinks back to a traumatic incident involving Anabelle and her handsome brother. Lots of twists -- I should have guessed the villain's identity earlier. Enjoyable.
