The Two Mrs. Grenvilles — Dominick Dunne

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Murder most swank . . . required reading.” -- Vanity Fair

When Navy ensign Billy Grenville, heir to a vast New York fortune, sees showgirl Ann Arden on the dance floor, it is love at first sight. And much to the horror of Alice Grenville -- the indomitable family matriarch -- he marries her. Ann wants desperately to be accepted by high society and become the well-bred woman of her fantasies. But a gunshot one rainy night propels Ann into a notorious spotlight -- as the two Mrs. Grenvilles enter into a conspiracy of silence that will bind them together for as long as they live. . . .

“This is a candy box of a book. . . . Composed of just the right measure of sex, glamour, [and] passion.” -- Cosmopolitan
