The Heiresses by Sara Shepard
(author of Pretty Little Liars)
Goodreads.com Synopsis
You know the Saybrooks. Everyone does. Perhaps you’ve read a profile of them in People or have seen their pictures in the society pages of Vogue. Perhaps while walking along that choice block on Fifth Avenue, you’ve been tempted to enter the ornate limestone building with their family name etched into the pediment above the door.
The only thing more flawless than a Saybrook’s diamond solitaire is the family behind the jewelry empire. Beauties, entrepreneurs, debutantes, and style mavens, they are the epitome of New York City’s high society. But being a Saybrook comes at a price—they are heirs not only to a dizzying fortune but also to a decades-old family curse.
Tragedy strikes the prominent family yet again when thirty-four-year-old Poppy, the most exquisite Saybrook of them all, flings herself from the window of her TriBeCa office. Everyone is shocked that a woman who had it all would end her own life. Then her cousins receive an ominous threat: one heiress down, four to go.
Was it suicide… or murder? In the aftermath of the tragedy, the remaining heiresses—Corinne, the perfectionist; Rowan, the workaholic; Aster, the hedonist; and Natasha, the enigma—wrestle with feelings of sadness, guilt, and, most of all, fear. Now they must uncover the truth about their family before they lose the only thing money can’t buy: their lives.
The Heiresses is a whip-smart mystery that simmers with the wicked sense of humor and intrigue that made Sara Shepard’s number one New York Times bestselling Pretty Little Liars series a must-read, must-watch phenomenon.
My Review
5 out of 5 stars
Such a fun read. Another book that had me wondering what on earth was going to happen. Not too suspenseful. But enough to keep me tuned into the story. I was saddened by Poppy’s death though. I understand why it happened (meaning why the author made it happen) but she was really a character I wanted to get to know more. Even though I got to know her posthumously. I enjoyed all of the heiresses and their stories. And I wanted to slap Poppy’s husband several hundred times. 😉 Until I finished reading the book, I had know clue the Sara Shepard was THE Sara Shepard of Pretty Little Liars.
