This thriller certainly fits the bill since the drama focuses a young law clerk who suddenly finds herself entangled in a political mess. She becomes the power of attorney for her boss when he falls into a coma and discovers he’s been working on something very controversial. It sounds like a thriller I could definitely sink my teeth into. I’ve also been wanting to try a Stacey Abrams book for a minute! This seems like a good jumping off point for me.

Here’s one where I’m kiiind of flexing the definition a bit. I don’t think most of this book takes place at work, but the inciting incidents are two workplace murders, so I think it counts! Besides, I really want to give this one a read and I figure if I just keep talking about it, I’ll finally pick it up. It’s a thriller with multiple POVs, which I usually enjoy, and it promises some early 2000s pop culture. I’m definitely on-board!

And we have another thriller! I’m sensing a distinct theme here… Anyways, this follows January, who is head of security at the Paradox Hotel. This a hotel unlike any you’ve ever seen, however, because this hotel offers time travel as one of it’s many perks. January discovers a body that only she seems to be able to see and the action goes from there. This is another book I’m eager to read and just need to keep talking about until I force myself to pick it up, haha. I have a problem, y’all.

Okay, I know this is a heist book. But a heist is a job, right? So this totally fits! Also, this book sounds absolutely incredible. A group of young Chinese American college students are offered a ridiculous sum of money to steal back priceless Chinese artifacts. Does that not sound amazing??? It certainly piqued my interest as soon as I heard about it. I haven’t seen many reviews for it, as of yet, but I’m still eager to give this one a go.

I honestly did not set out to pick all mysteries and thrillers, but here we are! This one focuses around a maid named Molly who finds a dead body whilst cleaning rooms at her job. So definitely on theme! I’ve heard great things about this book and I’m excited to give it a read. It’s even on my “12 friends, 12 recommendations” challenge, so I have to read it. It sounds like a mystery that I’m going to love.
