Description

Two women. One powerful man. A decades-old secret binds them together.

In 2019, Pamela Carter is determined to secure her dream internship with billionaire businessman Andrew Clifford III.

Twenty-five years ago, in 1993, Andrew is just starting out. Without any of his later fame or fortune, the party boy becomes a legitimate hero when he intervenes to save assaulted Elizabeth Westlake. Sure, she’s a waitress at a strip club, but that’s not her dream. Elizabeth is determined to write her way out of the Harlem hellhole she lives in. Maybe Andrew is the ticket? Even the best-laid plans go awry, and for Elizabeth, tragedy looms.

Pamela is impossible not to notice and she soon becomes Andrew’s prime intern. But, just as with Elizabeth, not all goes to plan. The stocks are plummeting. The company is careening. And then, Andrew himself goes missing. Will Pamela also be plunged into the tragedy that surrounds this man? Or is Pamela the one person who really knows what happened that fateful night in 1993? More than a company is at stake, as Andrew struggles for survival. But sometimes, the past is too powerful. Some secrets refuse to remain buried. Sometimes, truth kills.

Two women. One powerful man. A decades-old secret binds them together.

In 2019, Pamela Carter is determined to secure her dream internship with billionaire businessman Andrew Clifford III.

The Bottom Line: A spellbinding, cathartic revenge thriller that will leave readers both unnerved and satisfied.

Try as I may, I could not find a single fault in Ms.Thomas' writing. She sealed off any potential holes in her plot; it is airtight and impregnable. Her background in the film industry just makes sense. Alone, this book stands firmly on its own two feet but it would not surprise me in the slightest to see this story adapted into a movie or a dramatic mini-series. It's got all the signs of a successful literary work. I will try my best to cling on to my memory of this book for as long as I can, however, I also look forward to forgetting all about it just so I can experience reading it again as if it were my first time .

--------Book Nerdection

The Girl in the Blue Blazer is flawlessly written, and the plot moves along smoothly. I eagerly await to read more books by Alretha Thomas. She has writing talent. I recommend this book to readers who enjoy general fiction because it is the ideal fusion of love, friendship, adventure, and crime.

--------Literary Titan

"WOW!!! I didn't think it was possible to go into something with high expectations and still have them exceeded, but that is exactly what happened here. This story is the definition of suspense. There was pulse-pounding action from beginning to end, delivered by the right cast of characters. If you're looking for a story with strong women, this is it.

Andrew Clifford, III is the personification of a snake. I mean, that man is evil! This story serves as a good reminder that hurt people do in fact hurt people. I'm normally a very slow reader, but this story, like all Alretha Thomas's work, was easy to read and the chapters were just the right size. Pamela is an amazing protagonist, and you really root for her. I actually felt her pain.

I won't say much more about this because of the twists and turns in the story. It' s too easy to give something away. Trust me, you cannot predict the ending--almost gave me a heart attack!

Well done, Alretha; bring on the next one!" 

T.O. Burnett, Author of The Sapien Series                            

"Alretha Thomas has done it again. The Girl in the Blue Blazer is a riveting suspense story that will have you on the edge of your seat."

Women Who Love to Read Book Club.

"THE GIRL IN THE BLUE BLAZER IS A MUST READ.  Wow wow wow. The first book I read in 2023: has a good plot, good characters, and great twists. This book was good. I hated when it ended. I don't want to give away anything, but Andrew Clifford III is a piece of work and he had me screaming at my phone. Wow!" 

Marketa McKelvy

"Loved, loved this book! "Pamela Carter has been trying to get into Andrew Clifford's inner circle for a long time and she finally gets accepted into his internship program. This is when  things go totally left for the billionaire. Who's behind the chaos and why? Wanting the answer to this question had me swiping like a crazy person. Then there's Elizabeth Westlake from 25 years ago. She too has had dealings with Andrew and things did not go well. As I read, I kept wondering how are these women connected and are they in on what's happening to Andrew? The writing and twists are so freaking good. In the end I was blown away! Can't wait to read more from this author."
