"Fifth Avenue" by Christopher Smith

Just finished reading "Fifth Avenue" by Christopher Smith. This is Mr. Smith's first novel and he has delivered a real hit. As two families battle it out on "Fifth Avenue" you become aware that this is not just a fight to see who has the biggest or the best, but a deep underlying hatred has built up over years, and something is going to "crash". A real "Whodunit" with lots of intrigue and action within the ranks of high society in New York. The characters come alive in Mr Smith's novel. They are gritty, self-absorbed and somewhat sad. You will find yourself unsure of which family to root for. A "hard to put down novel". Be prepared to "stay up all night" with this one. Find "Fifth Avenue here: http://amzn.to/9lKNd9
