The Heiresses: A Novel
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
From Sara Shepard, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Pretty Little Liars, comes The Heiresses—a novel about the Saybrooks, a diamond family blessed with beauty and fortune yet plagued by a string of tragic and mysterious deaths.
The only thing more flawless than a Saybrook's solitaire is the family behind the diamond empire. Beauties, entrepreneurs, debutantes, and mavens, the Saybrooks are the epitome of high society. Anyone would kill to be one of them. But be careful what you wish for, because if you were a Saybrook, you'd be haunted by secrets and plagued by a dark streak of luck.
Tragedy strikes the prominent family yet again on a beautiful morning in May when thirty-four-year-old Poppy, the most remarkable Saybrook of them all, flings herself from the window of her office. Everyone is shocked that someone so perfect would end her own life—until her cousins receive an ominous warning: One heiress down, four to go.
Was it suicide . . . or murder? And who will be next: Aster, the beautiful but reckless girl who's never worked a day in her life—and who's covering up her father's darkest secret? Her older sister, Corrine, whose meticulously planned future is about to come crashing down around her? Perhaps it will be Natasha, the black sheep of the family who suddenly disinherited herself five years ago. Or maybe the perpetually single Rowan, who had the most to gain from her cousin's death.
A gripping, edge-of-your-seat thriller about heiresses who must uncover a dark truth about their family before they lose the only thing money can't buy: their lives.

Five privileged young woman, all heiresses to the Saybrook diamond empire, are blessed with every luxury. But the family curse--or a vindictive villain--may end their lives prematurely. Shepard (Everything We Ever Wanted, 2011, etc.), the architect of the best-selling Pretty Little Liars series, has created a PLL for adults. Variously related women (friends, sisters, half sisters, cousins, aunts) fret their way through man troubles, with a deadly mystery on the side. There's Aster, the partying wild child, and her sister, Corinne, the perfectionist preparing to marry the wonderful Dixon Shackelford. Their cousins include Poppy, the president of Saybrook's Diamonds, who's a happily married mother of two adorable children; Rowan, the brilliant in-house lawyer who pines after her lost love, Poppy's husband; and Natasha, a yoga instructor, who curiously disinherited herself from the Saybrook fortune. Five years earlier, a beach party at the family's glamorous summer house was the site of an executive's mysterious drowning. An ominous website, appropriately titled "The Blessed and the Cursed," details the family's every misstep, from wardrobe malfunctions to drunken shenanigans. No one seems to know who supplies the website with compromising photos and tips on the women's upcoming appointments. On the eve of Corinne's wedding, it appears the family curse is back: Poppy has fallen to her death. Was it suicide or murder? Why was the seemingly faultless Poppy arranging private meetings behind her assistant's scheduling book? Where was her husband, James, when she fell? Could the events of five years ago offer clues? As an FBI investigation advances, rumors, secrets and ex-boyfriends abound. Unfortunately, the romances are predictable and the sex scenes, tame. Perfect for a light beach read, but anyone in search of witty chick lit, hot romance or taut mystery should look elsewhere.COPYRIGHT(2014) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

YA juggernaut Shepard moves into adult territory with this novel, the first in a planned series. There are five heiresses to the Saybrook family fortunecousins Poppy, Corrine, Rowan, Aster, and Natasha. The media think that the family's vast wealth comes with a curse, for sudden death under mysterious circumstances seems always to strike the next heir in line. Mostly, the women laugh off suggestions of a curse. After all, it's better to die young and leave a pretty corpse, right? But then Poppy, who has a past but seems to have her life under control, commits suicide. The family is even more shocked when the FBI arrives with indications of foul play. The remaining heiresses juggle various sexy men, lies, family secrets ranging from mistresses to Nazis, and assorted rich girl problems while trying to uncover the truth about Poppy's death and hopefully put an end to the curse rumors. Soapy stuff, to be sure, but Shepard's got name recognition.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
