I always enjoyed reading Dominick Dunne's gossipy and incisive columns for Vanity Fair and the trials he covered - O.J.Simpson's, Phil Spector's and William Kennedy Smith's and I enjoyed his last novel Too Much Money.
The book's main character is Dunne's alter ego, Gus Bailey who is dying of cancer, being sued by a congressman and writing a book about a vengeful wealthy heiress suspected of murdering her billionaire husband.
Too Much Money is a great diversion and a compulsivly readable novel just right for a long rainy weekend. Dunne's razor wit and gimlet eye look at high society will be sadly missed.
