This was the first book by Judith Gould I had read. Usually I take myself in to the mystery aisles and stay away from romances; however, I was pleasantly surprised and found myself reading this book in 2 days. It is a page turner which anyone will enjoy with a very good ending.

I really liked this book. I found it a little difficult to follow at the beginning because there were so many characters to keep track of, but once I got into it, it was much better. The story follows the lives of three women. One works for the auction house, one is married to the new highest stakeholder, i.e. man in charge, of the auction house, and the other starts as a friend to the latter but becomes a friend to the former when they end up living and working together. As far as romances go, I really liked the way Ms. Gould wrote about each of the women and their men. As far as the mystery plot goes, I thought it could have been developed a little more, but I'm not sure exactly how without giving away some key things you don't find out until the end. Some of the story was predictable, but written well enough that it didn't matter.

TOO DAMN RICH is a fun and compelling journey into the world of the super rich, auction style. Judith Gould skillfully weaves a tale of sins and retributions, with a touch of edge-of-your-seat suspense, to create a one and only treat worthy of her name. Her punchy dialogue, plus her direct narrative approach, not to mention her flair for the enticement, make this deliciously all year round keeper a joyous read indeed.-----Martin Boucher
