Social Crimes - Hardcover

"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."
