Book Description:
When Navy ensign Billy Grenville, heir to a vast New York fortune, sees showgirl Ann Arden on the dance floor, it is love at first sight. And much to the horror of Alice Grenville--the indomitable family matriarch--he marries her. Ann wants desperately to be accepted by high society and become the well-bred woman of her fantasies. But a gunshot one rainy night propels Ann into a notorious spotlight--as the two Mrs. Grenvilles enter into a conspiracy of silence that will bind them together for as long as they live. . . .

Inspired by the real life of Ann and William Woodward, and William's murder in 1955 by his wife. The books shows why Dunne is considered one of the best authors who write about the rich and famous criminals.\

The book is well paced, and filled with details. The charactors are well developed and the plot keeps you reading late into evening.

NOt your typical lifetime television for victims novel.
