Dina Goldsmith - the social-climbing wife of Burghley's new owner, taking the express elevator to the pinnacle of fifth Avenue society. Zandra von Hohenburg-Willemlohe - an impoverished runaway noblewoman who sells herself to the lord of a vast fortune to save the life of her dissolute brother.But MacKenzie, Dina and Zandra discover the summit of privilege and glamour of Burghley's to be fraught with danger, a glittering prize targeted for the crime of the century - and only MacKenzie can stop the scythe of evil from cutting its deadly swath. But first she must uncover the conspiracy - and then survive the countdown to terror. As the drama races from Manhattan to Mustique to its tension-packed climax, all learn the high price of living the good life, that there really is such a thing as being Too Damn Rich....

If you want to lose yourself in the privileged world of the elite...

Funny to read a book with all the prerequisites for a romance -- minor royalty with lots of money, single New York woman looking for a storybook romance, a tycoon with a trophy wife, someone who things he has a social conscience and hates the wealthy, lots of people with lots of money, a ditzy dame who turns out to have brains. Anyway, reads OK but I tired of it towards the end. Figured out the bad guy about halfway through.

This is the eighth Judith Gould novel I have read and I must say they are a bit of a mixed bag. This one had its moments and did like how all the plots tied up well in the end but was not her best. Without doubt her first novel Sins is her best... A true masterpiece and the other books don't quite compare. This one was just a bit too over the top plot about billionaires and art thieves and royal family inheritances. Still glad I read it but not to same standard as Sins, Dazzle and The Lovemakers which are the best of hers I have read. It is curious though all her books have a very different style like they are all written by a different author! But maybe it is because Judith Gould is a team effort of two men writing together under the Judith Gould moniker.

I usually enjoy Judith Gould books, but this one was a chore to read. It was a thick novel, Gone with the Wind size, the print was very small and painfully light. An addendum at the end of the book explained the print choice, but it was so small I couldn't even read it, and at this point I could care less! There were some characters that I really liked, and made the book bearable. The title actually tells the story, Too Damn Rich!!!
