Sarah Vaugan wrote The Reputation, a psychological thriller and crime drama. The story revolves around a member of Parliament living in London with two other female members of Parliament. Emma is divorced. Her daughter, Flora, lives with her father and step-mother during the week and comes to Emma's place on weekends. Emma takes up social causes. When a young girl commits suicide because her boyfriend threatened to release a video of the two of them having sex, the boyfriend is sentenced to 5 months of probation. Emma writes a law saying that on-line abuse should be punished with 7 years of incarceration. Emma puts up with a stunning amount of on-line abuse herself. She gets letters threatening her life and her health. She is stalked by one voter. A newspaper reporter stalks her too and has a photographer outside of her house every night. Reputations are important. I liked the book but sometimes I thought it went too slow.
