The Agency introduces Tess, an aggressive yet insecure grunt at a prestigious entertainment agency. Tess has plans to strike out on her own, and plans to take her clients with her. However, the dalliances in her active personal life have made her many enemies: mostly female. When she simultaneously becomes a murder suspect, gets dumped by her secret boyfriend, and her highest-earning client is threatened with a plagiarism lawsuit, Tess fears that her open legs may have closed too many doors for her.
I bought The Agency because it is co-written by Brian Freeman, who is a thriller author that I very much enjoy. This is a night and day departure from his other work. The Agency is a sex and shopping (for clients) novel: it features a sassy heroine, illicit affairs, and lots of celebrity name dropping. I particularly enjoyed the jabs taken at the publishing industry and several best selling authors. Initially Tess might be off-putting to some because of her behavior, but the character shows a potential for growth. The Agency is a smart and sexy beach read.
