Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Two pulchritudinous protagonists, talented designer Edwina and super-model Billie Dawn, seize the limelight in this vervy, sassy novel of the fashion world by the author of Dazzle and Sins. Ravishing redhead Edwina--tossed aside by her haute couture bosses, crass socialites Antonio and Anouk de Riscal--fights back with her own "Edwina G" line of affordable "fast fashion," bolstered by an "Attitude Sell." She copes with cute punk daughter, Hallelujah, 13, and resists marrying handsome tycoon R. L. Shacklebury, who adores her. The more timid Billie Dawn (formerly runaway Shirl) has survived a bikers' gang rape led by jealous ex-boyfriend Snake of the Satan's Warriors. Snake is out to get her again, while Billie Dawn's plastic surgeon "Doc" Cooper offers big bucks' worth of loving protection. Amidst this flurry of gorgeous people, sex, chic clothing and interiors stalks "Miss Bitch," the drag queen/slasher who scalps women and dons their hair. The climactic grand finale brings the entire cast to the Southampton Decorator Showhouse. Exuberant malice and mayhem are Gould's forte, with action scenes awash in gore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never Too Rich, March 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Never Too Rich (Onyx) (Paperback)

This is a great book. I read it in the early 1990's and it still is one of my all time favorites. It has a very bizarre serial killer. You will not know who he or she is until the very end. Contains somewhat graphic and violent content. But definitely worth it! You will not be able to put this book down.

4.0 out of 5 stars glamor, sex, money, and a serial killer, July 2, 2007

This review is from: Never Too Rich (Onyx) (Paperback)

I read this book back in the mid 90s and really enjoyed it, it as has always stayed at the back of my mind. It's a good page turner with lots of sex, killings, behind the scenes fashion world gossip to keep you wanting more. The revelation of the killer was really good too, it was not who I expected it to be. Not a bad book to take with you on holiday

This review is from: Never Too Rich (Kindle Edition)

I've read at least ten Judith Gould novels, and this is easily one of the best. The plot is fast paced, international, and kept me guessing throughout the entire novel. If you're looking for a really good "guilty pleasure" I highly recommend this!
