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.
