Pauline Cook is a widowed socialite who finds her best friend, Ethan Campbell dead in his apartment. Things aren't always what they seem and many questions quickly arise about her dear friend. Who was Ethan Campbell really?
Well Bred and Dead is well written. It was a light read filled with many twists and much suspense.
I did find it a little difficult to relate and even like Pauline Cook. The character is self centered and obsessed with money. At one point she rants about the pains of going to her expensive prep school as a child wearing brand name clothes from last season. Oh the horrors! She complains constantly throughout the book about her dwindling bank account, but yet has no qualms about buying suits that costs over $2000 just because. A simple lunch out costs her $360, but yet she's afraid of going broke? Sorry honey, Get a JOB! Stop spending! You're 49 years old, GROW UP!
That said, the book was enjoyable. One thing I learned from this book, don't read a funny book on a treadmill! I about fell on my tuckus! Worth reading if you're looking for a nice fluffy mystery novel and can look past the annoying rants of a 49 year old socialite.
