L.S. Stratton is an NAACP Image Award-nominated author and former crime newspaper reporter who has written more than a dozen books under different pen names in just about every genre from thrillers to romance to historical fiction. She currently lives in Maryland with her husband, their daughter, and their tuxedo cat.

Stratton's new novel is In Deadly Company.

At CrimeReads she tagged five mysteries and thrillers set in the workplace, including:
Amina Akhtar, #FashionVictim

Imagine The Devil Wears Prada but if Andy decided to kill whoever got in her way to prove herself to Miranda Priestly, and you have the thriller, #FashionVictim.

Anya St. Clair lives and dies for fashion, and her dream is to move up the editorial ladder at La Vie, one of the top NYC style magazines. Only one thing stands in her way, fellow editor Sarah Elizabeth Taft—someone Anya both admires and envies. Unfortunately for Sarah, competition can be deadly.

#FashionVictim is a fun, campy novel that plays on the cattiness of the fashion world for laughs and mayhem.

#FashionVictim is among Laura Picklesimer's seven dark & thrilling novels about women who kill.
