The Counselor's Wife

She sends flowers every Sunday. She has never once come to dinner.A year after a dead man turned up in Imani Washington's basement, the four of them have a new baby to fuss over and a full Sunday table on Quesada Avenue again. Ebony has one thing left from that year: a yellow legal pad with nineteen names on it, seventeen crossed out and two still circled.One is the driver who sold a sentence to the newspaper. The other is the florist, Bernadette Whittier. She is the wife of Cyril, the counselor who has sat at Estelle Calloway's table nearly every Sunday for most of their lives, the man who stayed.Then Cyril offers Ebony a job at his firm, and the one person she can't afford to be wrong about starts sitting down beside her every morning. A file walks out of the firm under the wrong name. A reporter starts quoting "a longtime family friend." And the four women who have never once turned on each other have to decide how far to follow a list that leads straight into the family.Ebony hates both names. She only has to be right about one.Book Three of the Glow Girls.
