Don't be fooled by its title. Whisper Network is a primal roar of a novel. Furiously funny and just plain furious, it's as timely as today's headlines and as big-hearted as your best work friend. A fantastic read. -- Riley Sager * bestselling author of The Last Time I Lied *

Smart, witty and scarily relatable in this #MeToo era, this is going to get everyone talking. * Sun, Fabulous Magazine *
It's Nine to Five on speed. This preternaturally timely novel - provocative, disturbing, and (dare I say it?) surprisingly fun - is serrated as a kitchen knife, and twice as sharp. I read it with horror. I read it with pleasure. I'll read it again. -- A.J. Finn * bestselling author of The Woman in the Window *

Viciously funny and compulsively readable... [Whisper Network] is a breezy page-turner of a book, which is the brilliance of it: Under the froth is an unmistakable layer of justified rage. * Kirkus *
Baker's caustic debut - about four women working in corporate America who all have secrets about their new male boss - might just make the strongest claim yet for the thriller of the #MeToo era. * Oprah Magazine *
In the midst of a police investigation and meetings involving suits and counter suits, Baker works in succinct statements about the quandaries of modern women: torn between motherhood and work, plagued with guilt about nearly everything, suppressing their femininity while being undervalued because of their sex, and schooled in secrecy. These truths serve to bolster the plot, not distract from it, and the result is a compulsively readable mystery with a strong message. Don't miss it. * Booklist *
Big Little Lies meets Working Girl -- Miranda Beverly-Whittemore
A delectable read * Refinery29 *
