The Lady Upstairs

The Lady Upstairs by Halley Sutton, 306 pages

Jo's job is not at all legal, but it does have a good cause: she and her colleagues work hard to take down powerful and horrible men, those who take advantage of women and are often considered untouchable in their field. When a job targeting a Hollywood producer goes south, Jo must scramble to pull off another job in the hopes of appeasing her mysterious boss, known only as "The Lady Upstairs."

This is a noir-ish look at the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles politics, crime, and entertainment. Nobody in this book is at all likeable, so if you have to like a character, stay away from this one. But for those seeking fictional revenge against the Harvey Weinsteins of the world, give this one a whirl — you won't be disappointed.
