The Last Book Club by Joanne Rock
If you love the drama of shows like “The Real Housewives” of anywhere and prefer them with a shot of murder, than look no further than The Last Book Club by Joanne Rock!
Saratoga Springs: Home to folks living the lifestyles of the rich and famous. So of course, their private book club has got to be just as “elite” as they are!
Jordyn is new in town. She knows all about the snobby book club and she wants “in.” Not because of her love of books or for a status feather in her cap, but because she’s out for quiet revenge. A year ago, her foster sister, Tara, a member of the book club, fell victim to a hit-and-run driver. Case was deemed an accident – but Jordyn knew better.
Sophia Durand reigns over the book club with an iron fist. She was also Tara’s business partner, wanting full control of their business they both started together. Before her death, Tara told Jordyn things between the two of them had become toxic – and now Tara is gone forever.
But when Jordyn manages to wrangle herself into the upper crust book club, secretly investigating Tara’s accident is harder than she ever could have imagined. The more she learns about the club’s members, the more she’s sure one of them is a cold-blooded killer!
The women of the book club are friends on the surface. Behind the scenes, frenemies, backstabbing, jealousy, husband-stealing and outright public betrayals run amok. This is one scandalous, juicy book club that will have readers wanting more (and they’ll get it!).
When the book club hosts a murder mystery party, things get downright deadly for real. Unknown to Jordyn, she’s not the only one out for sweet revenge. Someone else is planning to hatch their own form of vengeance to take down their enemy and newcomer, Jordyn, may just get caught in the crossfire.
Everyone is hiding behind skillfully crafted facades, including the killer. Not only will readers have a hard time figuring out what really happened to Tara and who was responsible, but will be anxious to see if revenge plot #2 will expose someone in the club for who they really are, and shatter their “glass” house!
While this summer may be hot – the scandals in this book club are definitely “hotter!” The Last Book Club by Joanne Rock is a tasty treat to savor with a refreshing drink in hand – a pitcher of iced tea, lemonade — martini’s anyone?
