Set in today's Manhattan, Sugar Tower is a sharp and funny tale of a woman forced to reinvent herself as the platforms she built her life upon are dissolving beneath her feet. With uncanny perceptiveness, this novel delves into societal shifts that impact us all - the real estate bubble, the decline of feminism, the obsolescence of print journalism - in the context of a murder mystery that titillates and dazzles from beginning to end.
My thoughts
Marchesa Jesus Piazza, a real-estate news reporter turned amateur sleuth, as she tries to find out who murdered socialite Anabel Trainor Sugarman, a year ago. Anable was married to real estate developer Barry Sugarman, builder of the Sugar Tower. With the assistance of a New York Police detective, she interviews tenants of the building to find out what really happened. Rohm has developed an enjoyable story filled with quirky characters, a little suspense, a few misdirections that all add up to a masterful mystery!
