Nancy Geary / Published 2001 A page-turning mystery, a whirlwind tour of the monied enclave of Southampton, Long Island, reminiscent of Philistines at the Hedgerow, and a novel of manners that recalls the works of Edith Wharton, Nancy Geary's debut novel shows us that not even blue blood or cold cash can save you from MISFORTUNE. |
The
Hampton Connectionby Vincent Lardo / Published 2000 Another wicked romp in Long Island's playground of the rich and famous, where Hollywood heavyweights and Broadway bigwigs scramble for a piece of the action. It's the height of the season in East Hampton, and there isn't a soul who'd dare be caught dead in anything that doesn't boast a designer label. Except the person who's caught with a jock strap around his neck, quite dead. |
James Brady / Published 1997 A murderous romp in the celebrity playground of East Hampton, written by Parade gossip columnist James Brady. When titanically profitable--and terrifically despised--lifestyle guru Hannah Cutting is found murdered, world-class journalist Beecher Stowe has his reporter's instincts piqued and digs into Hannah's past to find her killer. |
The
House That Ate the Hamptons : Lily Pond Lane James Brady / Published 1999 The Hamptons, "where gossip ranks slightly behind cocktails and just ahead of lawn care," are populated with all sorts of people these days and James Brady takes advantage of the frictions among them to concoct a fun adventure in his third novel. The usual suspects: lock-jaw Wasps, social climbing celebrities, noisy rap peddlers like Puff Daddy, with his infamous pool parties (see his house here) and the central figure - another scandalously rich freak who is building a monstrously large house that insults the good taste of his lock-jaw neighbours. |
The
Hampton Affair By Vincent Lardo / Published 1999 Like Caesar's Gaul, East Hampton is divided in three parts: south of the highway (oceanside), home of the landed gentry, the rich, and the famous; north of the highway, home of the year-round locals; and in-between, where resides--who else?--the middle class. In Lardo's smashing debut, these worlds collide in a power struggle over land, family secrets, and the almighty dollar. Delicious book. |
Just
for the Summer by Laura Van Wormer Who knew the Hamptons was such a hotbed of murder and corruption? In Laura Van Wormer's Just for the Summer, a favor for an old friend turns into a phantasmagoria of sex, money, and death. |
Ellen Feldman / Published 1998 After quitting her fast-paced job in TV news, 40ish Bailey Bender is drifting through a low-key life in the Hamptons. She works in a local bookstore, jogs on the beach, befriends a young girl struggling with the onset of adolescence, and fends off the advances of an eccentric neighbor. Still, something seems missing, and that something, Bailey comes to realize, is the child she gave up for adoption 25 years ago. Once Bailey makes up her mind to find him, she becomes unexpectedly embroiled in the lives--and deaths--of the Hamptons' rich and famous. |
