5.0 out of 5 stars
It's a page turner !!!,
By Pam Jacobson (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Misfortune (Hardcover)
If you are looking for some good summer reading, this terrific book by this young new author is simply perfect ! It is fast reading but very thoughtful ... and the "plot thickens" with each new character who is introduced ! The characters are each unique and all bring something new to the "proverbial table", which makes the mystery increasingly intriguing. And the descriptions of life and individuals in the Hamptons are frighteningly accurate ! I assure you of one thing: you will NOT want to put this book down ! Enjoy !

Great read at the beach!,
By "jlmahlman" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Misfortune (Hardcover)
Misfortune is a riveting family drama. This murder-mystery is psychologically suspenseful and will keep you turning the pages to discover what's next. Frances Pratt is a touching and appealing heroine. Recommended summer reading!

Wonderfully Written With Perfect Characterization,
By Heather Marshall Negahdar "Haze" (Bridgetown, Barbados) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Misfortune: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed Misfortune and thought it was so wonderfully written with a host of exciting characters.Cleo Pratt was an obnoxious woman who was not liked by many in South Hampton, Long Island. She did not hide her racial prejudice or the pride she seemed to exhibit to those not as wealthy as she was. She was selfish and thought only about her comforts and her husband's. It is no wonder when she is found dead in the powder room at the Fair Lawn Country Club, it becomes an extremely difficult task trying to seek out her murderer, for Cleo Pratt has made so many enemies for herself. You will meet Beverly Winters whom she gossiped about after her husband's suicide; Henry Lewis a surgeon whom she was instrumental in blocking from becoming a member of the Country Club because of his race ; her stepdaughters Blair and Frances whom she treated like second class citizens when they were in her habitation; a partner in their firm Pratt Capital who she wants to squeeze out, and many many more of the high society you will encounter. Be prepared to have at least a day to two for this page turner. When all is revealed you will see how well written and how cleverly concealed is the murderer ... Happy reading! I loved it!
