Without warning, and with the table set for dinner, demure housewife Cake Halliday leaves her adulterous husband and heads for New York City. Rekindling her romance with presidential hopeful Senator Red O'Shea, Cake joins his campaign and meets Anne Fitzgerald, a desperate woman with a secret. From its catchy opening to its storybook ending, Perfect Order is a competently written, animated blend of romance and intrigue. Amid the glamour and glitz of Los Angeles and New York, Coscarelli fashions an enjoyable tale.
The Wondrous World of Bonkbusters, where a frustrated housewife follows beauty advice courtesy of "Mommie Dearest" and where an undercover heiress throws a Cartier watch in the toilet. Apart from irony, "Perfect Order" is an entertaining page-turner political thriller.
3.5 stars This was an interesting book. Two women, on the run for different reasons, meet up while in NY. It is an interesting storyline with some political drama and intrigue. I enjoyed this book which I acquired in a purchase of a bunch of books. Sometimes I just let fate throw some books in my path, and get surprised by some of them being very enjoyable.
Perfect Order, Kate Coscarelli, PB-B @ 1986, 1988. Without warning and with the table set for dinner, a woman leaves her husband and goes to NY to join an old flame, Senator Red O'Shea to help him with his campaign. Okay.
