At CrimeReads Kistler tagged six favorite office thrillers, including:
The office in The Herd, by Andrea Bartz, isn’t the typical single-company workplace. Instead, it’s an exclusive, women-only co-working space launched by celebrity entrepreneur Eleanor Walsh. Millennial women are dying to be accepted into the Herd––at least until Eleanor herself is found dead on the frozen rooftop of the glitzy building. Her friends—the Herd’s publicist, its graphic designer, and a writer secretly working on an unauthorized book about Eleanor—launch an investigation that exposes a lot of unknown and unsavory facts about both Eleanor and her so-called friends.
