What a Disappointment
As a Joyce Christmas fan, I was very disappointed in this mystery. I echo the thoughts of the previous reviewer. After getting through this contrived, obvious tale, I also thought that the author needed a nice long vacation! I was actually happy I bought this at a used bookstore and did not pay full price.

Joyce Christmas must need a vacation...poor plot, a character (Diane Stark) change that's unbelievable, and a ridiculously contrived ending that really doesn't "end" anything. Phooey!

New York's high society women have excitedly accepted Lady Margaret Priam into their exalted circle because of her English aristocratic background. She migrated to America because she needs to earn a living, something she was not allowed to do in England. Though most people she meets in the city are just acquaintances, Lady Margaret considers Dianne Stark, wife of a very rich, but much older person, to be a close friend. Dianne tells Margaret that someone is stalking her by sending her threatening letters and hideous flower arrangements. No one else seems to be taking the threats seriously. However, that changes when Dianne's sister, a near look alike, is shot. Subsequently, Dianne disappears. Margaret begins to search for her friend before someone else gets hurt. GOING OUT IN STYLE is a stylish amateur detective story. The fascinating protagonist's struggle to survive in a strange city when she knows she is living a shallow lifestyle feels real and adds to the flavoring of the story line. Joyce Christmas writes a smashing mystery that is sure to be a bloody success.
