I chose TIFFANY BLUES with both a mystery loving friend and a Tiffany loving daughter in mind. They will both enjoy this selection.
The early suspense - what is Jenny "Bell" so afraid to reveal about her life? - will immediately draw readers in.
What "evil" and "depravity" can such a young girl be concealing?
Intrigue is shortly followed by immersion into rich people's lives. Despite some cliched characterizations and always Jenny's intruding many, many fears, the plot transitions smoothly into Louis Comfort Tiffany and his astonishing Laurelton Hall creations and fantasies.
The author's descriptions here are lush, inviting, and sensual, as is Jenny's gradual initiation into her first real love.
Despite the murderous suspense, so many happy endings are a bit of a stretch.
