Description
Before they had Too Much Money, the inhabitants of Dominick Dunne’s glitzy, gossipy New York Times bestselling novels were People Like Us.
The way journalist Gus Bailey tells it, old money is always preferred, but occasionally new money sneaks in–even where it is most unwelcome. After moving from Cincinnati, Elias and Ruby Renthal strike it even richer in New York, turning their millions into billions. It would be impolite for high society to refuse them now. Not to mention disadvantageous. As long as the market is strong, there’s absolutely nothing to worry about–except for those nasty secrets from the past. Scandal, anyone?
Reviews
Average, not great.
3By Back 2 square 1No doubt Mr. Dunne is an excellent writer but this just was not a great book. I loved A Season in Purgatory but this book did not even come close to that masterpiece. I am beginning to think that some authors only have a few good books in their minds and Mr. Dunne mat be one of them. Still, there doesn't seem to be that many extraordinary books to read right now so I would recommend this book as a good vacation book.
