This frothy mystery would make a diverting tv mini-series and the book read a bit like a film treatment to me.

What it lacked in literary “ chops,” it offered up I easily visualized characters with snippets of style. I loved the premise of the wealthy, somewhat “ damaged” heiress “ pulling the rabbit out of the hat” to solve the mystery, but reading her repetitive thoughts and musings just didn’t retain my interest. And, I wanted to find her endearing, or even a sympathetic heroine, but I never reached that point.

The descriptions of the “ home sales” pyramid scheme was fun at times, but I found the book high on concept, and a little short on delivery.

Netgalley provided me a complimentary egalley in return for a candid review.
