Fiction. Suspense. "Denise Hamilton scores her largest and greatest triumph: Damage Control is a great mystery and, much more rarely, a superb psychological thriller. Kudos to this brilliant talent.". HTML:

Maggie Silver does her best to scramble up the ladder at an exclusive, high-powered PR firm in Southern California whose clients are movie stars and famous athletes. She is asked to take on her toughest client yet: Senator Henry Paxton, distinguished statesman from Southern California, who also happens to be the father of Anabelle, Maggie's best friend in high school. Senator Paxton's young female aide has been found murdered, and it is up to Maggie to run damage control and prevent the scandal from growing.

Thrown back into the Paxtons' glamorous world, Maggie is unexpectedly flooded with memories from the stormy years in high school, when her friendship with Anabelle was dramatically severed after a tragedy that neither of them has been able to forget. As Maggie gets further embroiled in the lives of the Paxtons, she realizes that the ties of her old friendship are stronger than she thinks.

Riveting and suspenseful, Damage Control examines our craving for celebrity and spectacle and how far the bonds of friendship can stretch before they break forever.

When Maggie begins working with a PR firm, spinning stories and polishing images of public figures, she never dreamed her highschool friend and family would re-enter her life....at the risk of her own life. Excellent! Could not put it down. ( )

This was a book in which I learned a great deal about PR and "spin doctors". I'm sure I've not read anything like it. The plot was excellent, but it makes me, as an 'everyday folk', trust the wealthy even less. ( )

I enjoyed it. I got annoyed with Maggie. She should have realized sooner that taking Adderall or any drug was a bad idea. I don't think she really carried about the ex-boyfriend or others her PR firm defamed. ( )

I enjoyed this book. It was a well composed story and well written. Well paced and good twists and turns. I would read her books again. ( )

I received this free through Early Reviewers. I thought it was a good book and a good story. Its a story about murder, betrayal, politics, sex, the whole nine yards.

Literature — both classic and popular — is rife with characters who, for the length of a book, yearn for something or someone they ultimately discover they don't want, after all. (Think Gatsby's Nick Carraway; Gone With the Wind's Scarlett O'Hara; even Anne Welles, the heroine of Jacqueline Susann's Valley of the Dolls.) That belated realization is central to Denise Hamilton's latest novel, Damage Control. The title refers both to a specific public relations skill-set and our own attempts to contain the damage a painful past can inflict on the present.
