Description

In The Gordonston Ladies, something is not quite right. The friends and fellow members of Thelma Miller’s afternoon cocktail club gather to mourn her death and lament the life of their neighbor, but as old friends vie for the attention of the new widower, Alderman and mayoral candidate Elliott, jealousies surface and friendships are strained. An old woman with a dark secret and an infamous uncle plots her revenge for a perceived wrong done over thirty years before, a once successful children's writer with his own secret is haunted by memories of the past, and aspiring model Kelly Hudd has just won the trip of a lifetime.

As secrets are revealed, old and recent history unravels and an intertwined web of deceits and lies surface in the middle class neighborhood. Meanwhile, a killer lurks and leaves the neighbors wondering if anyone is who they appear to be. A mysterious European gentleman in South America, a young Italian count parading the streets of Paris and a charitable and kind hearted nephew recently arrived from India add to the remarkable assortment of characters in this complex and thrilling story of murder, revenge and love.

Advance Praise

By james w.

Format:Paperback

The Gordonston Ladies Dog Walking Club was a great and satisfying read. The description was excellent. Particularly noteworthy was the characterization with thorough exploration of the characters' motives and description of their sometimes eccentric personalities. Heidi, Cindy and Carla were interesting and well cast. The reader is hooked immediately by the unusual setting and the great plot. Romance and intrigue always make for a good story. The description of the setting made the reader feel he was right there with the women walking his own dog in the park. I highly recommend this unique book and didn't hesitate to give it 5 stars.

Format:Paperback

This book is an excellent debut novel in the black comedy/crime genre written by talented newcomer, Duncan Whitehead. The pages turn themselves (and are very dog-eared by the end!) in this quick-tempo satire of small-town snobbery, vicious female rivalry and macho male posturing within the white, middle-class enclave of Savannah,USA. The author writes with an observant eye, a wicked sense of humour and with more than a hint of misogyny.
