À propos de cet audio

The Menu meets Ready or Not in this dark tale of opulent luxury and shocking violence from the New York Times bestselling author of Bloom.

Thrift fashionista Dez Lane doesn't want to date Patrick Ruskin; she just wants to meet his mother, the editor-in-chief of Nouveau magazine. When he invites her to his family's big Easter reunion at their ancestral home, she's certain she can put up with his arrogance and fend off his advances long enough to ask Marie Caulfield-Ruskin for an internship someone with her pedigree could never nab through the regular submission route.

When they arrive at the enormous island mansion, Dez is floored-she's never witnessed how the 1% lives before in all their ridiculous, unnecessary luxury. But once all the family members are on the island and the ferry has departed, things take a dark turn. For decades, the Ruskins have made their servants sign contracts that are basically indentured servitude, and with nothing to lose, the servants have decided their only route to freedom is to get rid of the Ruskins for good . . .

Contains mature themes.

This would have be better suited as a screenplay, most likely for the kind of short thriller that you forget as soon as it's finished.

The characters were hard to identify with, lacking in personallity, and all blending together. I disagree with comparisons - isn't deep, clever or shocking like The Menu. Nor as suspenseful or "a fun ride" like Ready or Not.

Very disappointed I wasted a credit.

A shallow story for the non-serious reader

This was an entertaining book. While it hits you over the head with what is essentially an intro to a marxist critique of capitalism (no shade regarding Marxism, but shade regarding the heavy handedness), it was engaging and even had a twist I was not expecting. If you want a fun murder story, I would highly recommend. Writing is pretty good, though the author sometimes states things which she already heavily implied. It is a good story for listening on audio while you do things around the house.

a fun read, lots of action, fairly predictable
