Reputation: A Novel

"Reputation is half psychological thriller, half courtroom drama – think Law & Order: UK but with a constant sense of impending peril. Like her previous book, Anatomy of a Scandal, Sarah Vaughn’s latest is set in the world of British politics. Emma Webster is a member of Parliament with a rising profile. After a scandal involving her daughter erupts, the journalist who broke the story (with whom Emma had a one-night stand) is found dead in her apartment. The subsequent murder trial raises questions about reputations: what they mean to men versus women; what we’ll do to protect them; who we’d be willing to sacrifice them for."
