Social Crimes: 1 (Jo Slater) - Softcover

"She writes with the perception of one who knows her territory well. The conversations are witty, lethal, and right on target.... It kept me up very late at night."

"This novel's got everything---passion, betrayal, money, obsession, and murder. It's the book Patricia Highsmith and Edith Wharton might have written together."

"A quintessential beach book. Readers of The Nanny Diaries will lap this up."

"Riveting...Hitchcock draws upon her intimate knowledge of the upper echelon to expose the dark secrets of a rarified society."

"Fois gras, champagne, a famous pearl necklace, and socialites at each other's throats. Great fun."

"If you combined the dark imagination of Patricia Highsmith with the social savvy of Truman Capote, the result might be Social Crimes. A gripping story, Hitchcock's wonderful new novel will keep you enthralled to the last exhilarating page."

"Hitchock's mysteries are savvy social satires and well-constructed clocks, ticking down to nail-biting climaxes."--New York Post

"Foie gras, champagne, a famous pearl necklace, and socialites at each other's throats. What more could you ask for? Great fun."--Christopher Buckley

"Thrums with wicked wit and an insider's view of court life in the Manhattan and Southampton of the twenty-first century. Hitchcock has seen it and lived it and shares all. She has a keen eye and a perfect ear."--Marie Brenner
