Publisher's summary

“All Her Little Secrets is a brilliantly nuanced but powerhouse exploration of race, the legal system, and the crushing pressure of keeping secrets. Morris brings a vibrant and welcome new voice to the thriller space.” (Karin Slaughter, New York Times and international best-selling author)

In this fast-paced thriller, Wanda M. Morris crafts a twisty mystery about a Black lawyer who gets caught in a dangerous conspiracy after the sudden death of her boss.... A debut perfect for fans of Attica Locke, Alyssa Cole, Harlan Coben, and Celeste Ng, with shades of How to Get Away with Murder and John Grisham’s The Firm.

Everyone has something to hide....

Ellice Littlejohn seemingly has it all: an Ivy League law degree, a well-paying job as a corporate attorney in midtown Atlanta, great friends, and a “for fun” relationship with a rich, charming executive, who just happens to be her White boss. But everything changes one cold January morning when Ellice arrives in the executive suite and finds him dead with a gunshot to his head.

And then she walks away like nothing has happened. Why? Ellice has been keeping a cache of dark secrets, including a small-town past and a kid brother who’s spent time on the other side of the law. She can’t be thrust into the spotlight - again.

But instead of grieving this tragedy, people are gossiping, the police are getting suspicious, and Ellice, the company’s lone black attorney, is promoted to replace her boss. While the opportunity is a dream-come-true, Ellice just can’t shake the feeling that something is off.

When she uncovers shady dealings inside the company, Ellice is trapped in an impossible ethical and moral dilemma. Suddenly, Ellice’s past and present lives collide as she launches into a pulse-pounding race to protect the brother she tried to save years ago and stop a conspiracy far more sinister than she could have ever imagined....

The twists pile up.

For her debut, it's excellent. Fans of John Grisham, like myself, are happy as clams. An amazing legal thriller. Narration is also well done.

Great story with Black woman as protagonist

I’m working really hard to diversify my fiction collection to include BIPOC characters and authors. This is a great book that includes a black female protagonist in Atlanta. As a Georgian, I can verify the details of Atlanta to be accurate as well. The psychological thriller/whodunnit side of the story was great, and the ending was more of a surprise than I thought it would be (I normally figure them out, but not this one!).

Great story

I loved listening to this story. It was beautifully told. Couldn’t stop listening . I highly recommend!

Riveting

This was an incredible, riveting story that kept me guessing. I loved it, and I can't wait to read more by Wanda Morris!

Narrator for this book is amazing

The story was good but the narrator makes it 10x better. Her voice and variation of tone makes a movies unfold in your ears

Excellent

The story was gripping. I loved the writing and the narrator. I highly recommend it.

Kept me going

I was intrigued with how the story line kept me on edge throughout the book.

Good mystery story with black woman lead

I enjoyed the story, the reader, and how each chapter kept me wanting to listen to more

Fantastic

Well written legal drama. The author does a great job layering an interesting storyline with what is likely her own experience as a legal practitioner making it a thoroughly enjoyable and believable read at every turn.

The narrator is superb...one of audible's best so far.
