About this ebook
From Jane Stanton Hitchcock, New York Times bestselling author of sophisticated thrillers Trick of the Eye and Social Crimes, comes One Dangerous Lady, a gripping mystery about a socialite’s daring investigation into the disappearance of a wealthy art collector.
While in Barbados for a lavish high-society wedding, Jo Slater—once on the brink of social obscurity—is back on top of her game. But when her old friend, Russell Cole, disappears, Jo is convinced he’s the victim of foul play—and that the perfectly manicured fingers of his latest wife, Carla, are all over the so-called accident.
Back in Manhattan, Carla’s stunningly fast rise up the social ladder adds fuel to Jo’s suspicions. And when a mysterious figure from Jo’s past returns and tries to bring her down, the Park Avenue set learns that, when crossed, she is one dangerous lady.

Reviews for One Dangerous Lady
39 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5One Dangerous Lady is a distressing book. It demonstrates what people will do including murder in order to have more than you. Money means everything to the people who occupy the world that Jo Slatter, the heroine, lives in. This book only received three stars because of the story--getting away with murder. The lifestyle depicted in this book is just morally disgusting.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I listened to this audio for an Around the World challenge for the location of Barbados. It was a great look at the rich and powerful people in New York society and how they act. It was well-written and suspense-filled with plot twists and turns and a surprise ending. I found many of the characters quite humorous which made the book very entertaining. It has all the elements of a great summer beach read: murder, mystery, scandal and intrigue. I highly recommend this book to those who love light mystery with lots of humor.
