Everyone has secrets, even the socially elite and movie stars, and that is what this book is mainly focused on. Shepard weaves an interesting story of love, lust, family, jealousy, and scandal. I am glad that I kept going because the book turned out to be really interesting mainly because it built up a great mystery and had me guessing until the very end. The Prologue was pretentious and had me cringing but I kept reading and hoping it was going to get better. I received this book as a bound galley/uncorrected proof copy from a GoodReads giveaway.At first this book didn't seem like something I was going to really get into. The Heiresses is a whip-smart mystery that simmers with the wicked sense of humor and intrigue that made Sara Shepard's number one New York Times bestselling Pretty Little Liars series a must-read, must-watch phenomenon. Now they must uncover the truth about their family before they lose the only thing money can't buy: their lives. or murder? In the aftermath of the tragedy, the remaining heiresses-Corinne, the perfectionist Rowan, the workaholic Aster, the hedonist and Natasha, the enigma-wrestle with feelings of sadness, guilt, and, most of all, fear.
Then her cousins receive an ominous threat: one heiress down, four to go.
Everyone is shocked that a woman who had it all would end her own life. Tragedy strikes the prominent family yet again when thirty-four-year-old Poppy, the most exquisite Saybrook of them all, flings herself from the window of her TriBeCa office. But being a Saybrook comes at a price-they are heirs not only to a dizzying fortune but also to a decades-old family curse.
Beauties, entrepreneurs, debutantes, and style mavens, they are the epitome of New York City's high society. The only thing more flawless than a Saybrook's diamond solitaire is the family behind the jewelry empire. Perhaps while walking along that choice block on Fifth Avenue, you've been tempted to enter the ornate limestone building with their family name etched into the pediment above the door.
Perhaps you've read a profile of them in People or have seen their pictures in the society pages of Vogue.
