Reviews for An Absolute Scandal

 
'The bonkbuster is definitely on the rise again as fiction gets chunkier and glossier.  But despite stiff competition from a new vanguard of younger and arguably hipper writers, there's only one name that continues to reign supreme, Penny Vincenzi.  Vincenzi's books have been topping the bestseller lists since 1989 and still never fail to disappoint.  AN ABSOLUTE SCANDAL is no exception ' Glamour

 

'Penny Vincenzi's latest offering has all the right ingredients for a top-selling blockbuster novel.  Peopled with charismatic, powerful and suitably rich men, superwomen wives who might throw a few surprises, plenty of glitz and high-flying lifestyles - and a world of privilege that will come tumbling down, wrecking lives and leaving someone dead' Choice Magazine

 

'This fictional account of the Lloyds crash is a sharp look at how money - and the lack of it - changes lives.  Another sure-fire hit' Woman

 

'Vincenzi is a bestselling author for a reason.  The story craftily strings you along wanting more.  After all, what is not intriguing about death. adultery, bankruptcy, public school accents, ponies, divorce, and the rise and fall of the high life of the 80s? Perfect for a holiday read' The London Paper

'This is a big book and a terrifically entertaining one. It's also highly addictive'  - Telegraph
