Too Much Money: A Novel… by Dominick Dunne

“Readers mourned Dunne’s passing in August 2009, bereft at the thought of life without his keen novels and incisive Vanity Fair profiles… But Dunne grants us one more good read…

Dominick Dunne revives the world he first introduced in his mega-bestselling novel People Like Us, and he brings readers up to date on favorite characters such as Ruby and Elias Renthal, Lil Altemus, and, of course, the beloved Gus Bailey. Once again, he invites us to pull up a seat at the most important tables at Swifty’s, get past the doormen at esteemed social clubs like The Butterfield, and venture into the innermost chambers of the Upper East Side’s most sumptuous mansions.

Too Much Money is a satisfying, mischievous, and compulsively readable tale by the most brilliant society chronicler of our time — the man who knew all the secrets and wasn’t afraid to share them.” A perfect beach read: Thanks For one last book Dominick!
