Necessary People

I did like the fact this was set in a workplace - in my view, more writers should use the place we spend 40+ hours of our life weekly as a setting. And it did keep me reading. But sorry to say, these women aren't anyone I'd want to know or interact with and from what I know of human psychology, no one behaves like this in real life. I know psychological suspense is a heightened reality but the underlying motivations still have to ring true.
