      Hart's debut takes place over a single day, transporting listeners deep into the lives of the ostentatiously wealthy, where money can solve nearly every problem. Thirty-eight-year-old Zanne Klein has worked for Hollywood power couple Ted and Holly Stabler for a decade. This was never her dream job, but it is easy, if somewhat unsettling, and it allows her to buy a house, pay off her student loans, and live comfortably with her girlfriend. As Zanne is preparing for a massive fundraising benefit, Ted's former business partner, Phoebe Lee, appears, setting off events that reveal the ugliness behind the Stablers' opulent lifestyle. Narrator Soneela Nankani poignantly describes Zanne's devastation as she realizes that she has unknowingly become involved in the Stablers' web of lies. Zanne must decide whether what she does is worth the emotional and ethical toll. Nankani strikes exactly the right note as she describes how Hart's three central characters--Zanne, Holly, and Phoebe--weigh the costs of being powerful women in such a ruthless world. VERDICT A must-buy. This bold novel will appeal to listeners who appreciate ethical dilemmas and moral ambiguities.--Elyssa Everling
