Its about four glamorous daughters of Lord Oswald Balcon, money, murder and relationships. From Fendi handbags to Ivy League educations, they live in a world of designer labels and unrestricted opulence; their father's money and aristocratic status, coupled with their dazzling good looks, bought them every opportunity and advantage. They are beautiful, blond, and barely thirty, and the world is their luxury playground.
Elsdet: Venetia, the sophisticated interior designer, has booming professional success but is desperate for a child and an escape from a loveless marriage. Second: Camilla, the rising political star, is too brilliant and ambitious for any of her unworthy lovers to handle. Sweet yet savvy third sister: Cate is living out her ultimate dream, launching her own magazine, with an all-too-handsome business partner. The baby of the family, Serena, is one of the country's most beautiful actresses, reaching international stardom, but being a party-girl is bringing more scandal than success.
They are the darlings of the London paparazzi, but when Daddy turns up dead, the shadow of suspicion falls on his four daughters. A jealous tyrant, Daddy has tried to bring his daughters down all their lives. These four women -- at the top of their careers in show business, publishing, interior design, and politics -- must face an awful accusation, and each other, as they try to discover the truth that lies beneath the glossy surface of their lives. The facade of the Balcon family hides a web of deceit and betrayal, in which a thirty-year-old secret lurks, threatening to destroy them all.
The book did not give me the anticipation I expected, it did not peak at the moments desired. I'd give this book: 5/10.
