I was somehow living under a rock and hadn’t heard about this book. A tremendous story of avarice, corruption and abuse of power.

Light read about New York high society. We listened to this book on a 10-hour car trip and it was a perfect fit. Don’t know that I would’ve read it in another form, but I very much enjoyed it on Audible.
