It demonstrates what people will do including murder in order to have more than you. Money means everything to the people who occupy the world that Jo Slatter, the heroine, lives in. This book only received three stars because of the story--getting away with murder. The lifestyle depicted in this book is just morally disgusting. ( ) No one brings alive the intrigues of the champagne set like Jane Stanton Hitchcock. Now Jo Slater, the wily heroine of her best-selling novel Social Crimes, returns in a dazzling new story of passion, money, and murder. Jo is in Barbados, preoccupied by the notion of a new romance with a dashing English lord, when Russell Cole, a fabulously wealthy art collector, disappears from his yacht. Jo suspects that Russell's wife knows a great deal more about her husband's disappearance than she is letting on. Back in New York, Jo discovers that a figure from her own past continues to put her at great risk and that neither the urbane lord nor her missing friend's wife are what they appear to be. More fun the first in this series - the author seems to have more of a sense of the silliness of the whole thing. (I particularly liked the idea of a small intimate dinner party of 100, as the yacht was too small to fit any more guests. The horror, darling, the horror!) Again, our heroine battles it out with another venal greedy grasping millionairess, fighting for position of top dog (a chihuahua? poodle?) in New York society.

Jo Slater has it all. The queen of Manhattan society, she has dealt successfully with a tricky period in which she lost her husband, her fortune, and her reputation. But she bounced back, and now, newly single in the greatest city in the world, there is not a cloud in the sky. Russell Cole, an old friend just married to a much younger woman, goes missing while yachting in Barbados. His wife, Carla, tries to befriend Jo, but Jo is suspicious. Carla's past is murky and, now with her billionaire husband's money at her disposal, she seems set on conquering the highest level of New York's social scene. Suddenly, those who oppose her start dying off, and Jo decides to take matters into her own hands. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
