Critiques en avant-première

The only thing that spreads faster than gossip in Palm Beach is news of a mysterious death.

Maribelle, the eldest of the three Barrows sisters, deserves to be envied. Not only for her plum position as editorial director of Palm Beach Confidential, but for her impressive husband, Samuel, and his involvement in the family business. Together, they present themselves as the “it” couple of Palm Beach. She might have even aced her two stunning younger sisters.

But things aren’t always what they seem. When Samuel unexpectedly dies, suspicion around the Barrows family swirls. Suddenly the authenticity of their socially ambitious mother, Lucinda, and their lavish existence of mansions, prestige, privilege and couture clothes are in question.

As their carefully constructed image unravels, each sister realizes she must fend for herself. Yet the pathway out is steep, and Samuel’s death casts a long shadow. Until the price of escape is too dear and worth any risk. Until the winner takes all.

A compelling tale of betrayal and lies, Maribelle’s Shadow is a memorable novel about what lurks beneath family loyalty.
