About this listen

Narrated by actress Gina Gershon.

"Gleefully trashy page-turner set among the one percent . . .Frey is in his element here. Let the revels begin!"—Kirkus Reviews

"A satirical look at the 'beautiful, wealthy and unsatisfied.'"—People Magazine

A darkly funny, razor sharp plunge into America’s most perfect town, where privilege, sex, scandal, and murder lurk beneath a flawless veneer, from #1 New York Times bestselling author James Frey.

Behind every great fortune, lies a great crime.—Honoré de Balzac

New Bethlehem, Connecticut. Picture-perfect lawns, manicured hedges, multi-million dollar homes. But beneath the designer yoga gear and country club memberships lies a darker reality.

In this world of excess, Devon and Belle have it all—beauty, money, status. But they want something more. Something dangerous. Something that makes them feel alive. Their solution? A party—a meticulously curated gathering of New Bethlehem’s elite, from a desperate ex-NFL quarterback to a hockey coach with a penchant for married women, and a ruthless Wall Street “closer” who wields his wealth like a weapon.

One night. Multiple betrayals. And a murder that will shatter New Bethlehem’s carefully constructed facade.

Fans of "The White Lotus" and "Big Little Lies" will be drawn into the dark underbelly of the American Dream–a world where money can buy anything, until it ruins everything.

Fair warning, this book contains:

- Betrayal

- Murder

- An ultra-elite swingers party

- Spectacularly badly-behaved rich people
