HIGH SOCIETY CAN BE A KILLER. Upper East Side socialite Daisy Greenbaum is accustomed to the finer things—designer clothes, summers in the Hamptons, elite private school educations for her daughters, and a staggeringly expensive Park Avenue apartment. But Daisy finds her well-heeled lifestyle on precarious footing after her husband, master of the universe Dick Greenbaum, learns about some shady dealings that threaten his position at The Bank. Daisy refuses to allow her family to slip down the social ladder, so she devises a madcap plan: Anyone who jeopardizes her place at the top will simply have to be dispatched—six feet under. From Dick’s arrogant boss to his scheming former mistress to a pair of nosy bloggers, Daisy’s hit list is a who’s who of big names with even bigger secrets. But with the body count rising as the Dow Jones falls, can Daisy really get away with murder?
My take
Somehow this entire book just doesn't quite work. There is no clear idea as to what kind of a book it is, and it bumbles around trying to be light, yet trying to sound important all at the same time. There is a lot of build up to the end and it just stops, leaving plot lines undone. The characters are poorly developed and there isn't a lot of insight into their behaviors. Mostly they just are perpetually unhappy because of their own behaviors. Don't bother with this one, its not memorable.
