Trash!

[Robin McCoy · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was an easy read without a lot of depth. It was entertaining but not like what I usually read. If you’re looking for a good beach read, this is it.

Indiscretions by Elizabeth Adler (writing as Ariana Scott)

This is a story covering a period of only a couple years in the lives of three bright, talented, and until now, privileged sisters who are left to cope because of their mother’s untimely departure. As with other novels by this author, we continually bounce from one exotic location to the next, albeit not into the past too far.

India, Paris, and Venetia Haven live in various countries in Europe, having been named for the locations where they were conceived. They pursue their respective interests and talents and are determined to make their way in life. Jenny Haven, mother and past-prime Hollywood actress, suddenly becomes quite dead. It seems her significant wealth has dissipated and the girls must seek their fortunes without her help.

As one of Adler’s earlier works, this tale doesn’t yet display her later masterful ability to thoroughly acquaint the reader with the prime players. Nevertheless, the tale is appealing enough hold interest throughout.

overall not as good as other Elizabeth Adler books... Plot sort of ho-hum. Not the descriptive settings that make you want to vacation as you do in her other novels either.

[ASLReader Harris · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was good deal of raw suspense. Slightly boring!!

[Diane Wachter · Rating 2 out of 5]

PB-B @ 1987, 1/89. Three sisters, raised separately, share the same indiscretions. Just so-so.

Easy beach read. No thinking involved.
