An Absolute Scandal - Penny Vincenzi
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we're looking for books published in the last year or so that are easy reads, something uplifting to take to a sunny beach, or to pick up in a quiet moment at home (should you be lucky enough to have one of those). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

Very addictive reading like all Vincenzi's, I couldn't put it down! one to devour in the bath with a glass of wine when the kids are in bed!
Its set in the 80's (although not a great deal of 80's nostalgia except references to Princess Diana!)and featuring a cast of rich and beautiful people who are happy and secure in thier riches and luxuries then a financial scandal hits them and causes ructions! Affairs are started, relationships tested to the limits and someone ends up losing there life!
Lots of twists and turns - I found I couldn't second guess the plot like I usually do!
Lovely bit of escapism into the world of the rich and glamorous!
