The unmissable thriller from the Grande Dame of Suspense, MARY HIGGINS CLARK, and New York Times bestselling author ALAFAIR BURKE. The Met Gala ball: the world's most glamorous fundraising party, an incredible night where the rich and famous wear extraordinary designer gowns and rub shoulders in New York's famous Metropolitan Museum of Art. People would kill for an invitation. Three years ago, Virginia Wakeling, a member of the Met's board of trustees and one of the museum's most generous donors, was found dead in the snow outside the building. Police soon discovered that she'd been thrown from the roof during the Met Gala, but no one has ever been arrested for her murder. Although suspicion has always hovered around Virginia's much younger boyfriend, there are a bevy of suspects. Laurie Moran decides to investigate Virginia's death for her successful cold-cases television show, Under Suspicion. But the more she pries into Virginia's murder, the closer Laurie comes to discovering just how dangerous an invitation to the Met Gala can be...

A sus ochenta y dos años y con una salud frágil, Olivia Morrow sabe que le queda poco tiempo de vida. En este momento ha de enfrentarse a la decisión más difícil que jamás haya tenido que tomar: sacar a la luz un secreto que su familia ha escondido desde hace décadas o llevárselo a la tumba. Catherine, una prima de Olivia ya fallecida, ingresó en su juventud en una orden religiosa. Su labor en el cuidado de niños discapacitados fue tan destacada que la Iglesia Católica está estudiando la posibilidad de su beatificación. Sin embargo, Olivia conserva unas cartas en las que se evidencia que Catherine dio a luz a un niño antes de tomar los hábitos. El bebé, fruto de su relación con Alex Gannon, un prestigioso doctor que amasó una gran fortuna en vida, fue dado en adopción. Si Olivia revela este secreto, traicionará la voluntad de Catherine. Si muere con ella, la fortuna de Gannon se malversará. Lo que Olivia desconoce es que no es la única que posee esta información, aunque los motivos de los demás para ocultarla sean mucho menos nobles...

Kay Lansing marries the son of her gardener father's wealthy employer, only to become increasingly disturbed by the suspicion surrounding her husband, Peter, in regard to the deaths of his first wife and a high-school senior.

"Celebrated English author Edward St. Aubyn's brilliant and scathingly witty family portrait examines the shifting allegiances between parents, children, husbands, and wives." "The novel's perspective carousels between each member of the Melrose family - the same family featured in St. Aubyn's trilogy Some Hope - starting with Robert, who provides an exceptionally droll and convincing account of being born; to Patrick, a hilariously churlish husband who has been sexually abandoned by his wife in favor of motherhood; to Mary, who's consumed by her children and an overwhelming desire to not repeat the mistakes of her own mother. All the while, St. Aubyn examines the web of false promises that entangle this once illustrious family, whose last vestige of wealth - an old house in the South of France - is about to be permanently donated by Patrick's mother to a new-age foundation." "An up-to-the-minute dissection of the mores of child-rearing, marriage, adultery, and assisted suicide, Mother's Milk showcases St. Aubyn's luminous and acidic prose - and his masterful ability to combine the most excruciating pain with the driest comedy. Once Mother's Milk is absorbed into the bloodstream of American culture, postpartum depression will never be the same again."--Jacket
