Next to Heaven by James Frey
Privilege, sex, scandal, and murder. The new novel from Sunday Times-bestselling author James Frey. 'Will be the novel on every beach towel this summer, all summer, everywhere' Esquire 'A deliriously over-the-top portrait of decadence on the brink' Bustle 'A Connecticut sex romp-cum-murder mystery' Vanity Fair 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. READERS ARE THRILLED, UNSETTLED AND SEDUCED ‘Sharp, provocative … Captivates with its blend of dark humour and social commentary’ ‘Dark, disturbing and funny’ ‘Transcends simple categorization - part thriller, part social satire, part moral fable - and the result is both entertaining and deeply unsettling’ ‘A mix of wit, mystery and dark undertone … I couldn’t put it down … Perfect pool side reading’ ‘I deeply loved this book … the ending slaps’ ‘Super fun and sexy summer read! Rich people behaving badly’
