Evelyn leads a rather empty life at the hotel her father owns. Her daily activities include lounging by the pool, going for beauty treatments and shopping through catalogue. (By the way, a roof top pool in New York?) Evelyn doesn’t have a job at the hotel, but she sometimes helps out finding things.

When a hotel guest is killed she decides she must find out who did it.

I didn’t find Evelyn endearing. I found her too vapid, always dressing in pink and looking out for photographers to snap her for the society pages. I didn’t care for the murdered man either, or for the man that was first arrested.

As such, I wasn’t compelled to read all the way to the end of the story.

I received an ARC through NetGalley.
