Reviews

[Terry Cornell · Rating 3 out of 5]

Surprisingly entertaining. James Brady was a Marine, journalist, gossip columnist, publisher of 'Women's Wear Daily', and editor of 'Harper's Bazaar'. This all seems to come to play in this novel. The story involves the death of a fashion designer, the mystery of why his company is over-valued, and why so many different groups are trying to buy his fashion house. Interesting to me, because the protagonist works for a banking firm, and has a business background. Plenty of unique characters populating this story of the fashion industry in Paris, and rural France. Several twists and turns--hard to predict where the story goes.

Me gustó y entretuvo mucho! Una trama que incluye viajes, erotismo, alta moda y suspenso.
