ABOUT THE BOOK
Why would four women admit to committing the same murder?
Four different women offer four very different confessions to the death of a
man found in the midst of a rehearsal dinner at an luxurious resort, each
insisting they acted alone. Their stories are contradicting and confusing,
posing a conundrum for the detective who must untangle their secrets.
Truth and friendship surface in surprising ways, but who is the guiltiest of
them all and what really happened on that rooftop?
MY THOUGHTS
In Gina LaManna’s PRETTY GUILTY WOMEN, a man is found dead
at a spa resort, and four women staying at the resort for a wedding celebration
all separately confess to killing him. So who really killed him? As the police
explore who committed the crime, the narrative unfolds into multiple points of
view as we learn more about each of the women, the journey their lives have
taken and the connections they have to one another.
I found the author’s writing kept me engaged throughout this
slow-burn of a book. And even though
there is murder to be solved, the primary focus is the women as they take
stock, make comparisons and question how fulfilled they really are.
Murder aside, I found Pretty Guilty Women to be quite a
light read. Ideal for when you want to be entertained without having to think
too hard.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Originally from St. Paul, Minnesota, Gina LaManna has also
called Italy and Los Angeles home. At the moment she lives nine blocks from the
beach and sometimes runs marathons. After studying numbers and equations in
college, she realized multiple choice tests were “just not for her” and began
writing books instead. She loves cappuccino foam and whipped cream and would
subsist solely on sprinkles if possible. She has one imaginary dog.
Gina also writes the Mini Pie the Spy! books, under pen
name, Libby LaManna, a children’s series featuring an over-enthusiastic little
detective, similar in style to Junie B. Jones.
