5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Summer Read!, June 22, 2005
By 
E. Dyment (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: One Dangerous Lady (Hardcover)
This book was so much fun and so easy to read. I couldn't put it down. I think I read it in three sittings -- would have been two sittings if I hadn't had to go pick up kids from little league. The hijinx of all levels of society -- jealousy, revenge, sex games, murder -- are somehow much more fascinating to read about in the billionaire set! Dripping with blood AND diamonds is, after all, a much more fun read than just plain dripping with blood. Anybody can do that. The author knows the New York social scene inside and out. She has a light touch and great characters. I really loved the prequel to this book, it was called SOCIAL CRIMES. People should read that one first and then this one. They are both really fabulous and would take hardly any time at the beach.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Easy Breezy Summertime Read, July 20, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: One Dangerous Lady (Hardcover)
This novel serves as a sequal of sorts for Jo Slater, the star of "Social Crimes," Jane Stanton Hitchcock's highly enjoyable novel. Like it's predecessor this novel involves social climbing on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and the lengths that people will go to in order to stay on top.

While fun, easy, breezy and quite enjoyable "One Dangerous Lady" is not as good as "Social Crimes." It lacks some of the depth of the first novel and features a pared down cast of characters.

Regardless, considering the amount of literary trash being produced today, this novel is fun and light and is recommended as a beach book par excellence!

3.0 out of 5 stars Too talky, July 9, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: One Dangerous Lady (Hardcover)
This is the first and only book I've read by Hitchcock and I couldn't fininsh it.

There was so much repitious dialogue and little forward plot movement.

Dissapointing!
