Look beneath all the power and all the wealth that represents New York City's Fifth Avenue, and you'll find greed, blood, revenge.

I can't pinpoint why I was bored to the point of wanting to read the last page and get it over with. ( )

A good introduction to how the very rich live and play. If the capital crimes committed are an indication of the participants happiness, then the age old axiom (money doesn't bring happiness) is proven true in this story. Characters live life outside my experience but, as they are portrayed, it seems the characters are real. I found myself cheering for the underdogs as usual. The story moved at a good pace and never a chance to lose interest. I read it straight through and left another book I was reading to get back to this story. I'm looking forward to reading the two follow on books that I also purchased at the same time as this book. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend. ( )
