“One Of Us Is Dead” takes us to the very wealthy community of Buckhead. Shannon was once leader of this pack of toxic women, but when her powerful husband, Bryce, dumps her for a younger woman named, Crystal, things start to unravel. Olivia sees Shannon’s blow as her opportunity to finally take Shannon’s place as Queen Bee. Olivia takes Crystal under her wing and insists they become best friends as payback for something Shannon did to her several years ago.
Olivia helped Jenny build her business from a regular salon to an exclusive members only salon and spa. Jenny’s business is everything to her, but Olivia is an investor and she is the one that recruited all her high class customers. Jenny knows all their secrets and has become a member of their little club over the years so she’s invited to their parties and events.
Karen finds herself defending Shannon to Olivia who wants to shut Shannon out of everything. Shannon will do just about anything to maintain her status including trying to win her husband back from Crystal. Crystal has secrets and Shannon is the only one who knows the truth about her past.
The women are bad, but the men are worse. When one of them turns up dead all the secrets are revealed and we learn who really has all the power.
“One Of Us Is Dead” is pretty good, it is filled with a lot of background and the character development is good. Thank goodness the title tells us something interesting is going to happen at some point so we keep turning pages. I feel like the discoveries are all saved for late in the book. I couldn’t imagine being Jenny and having to put up with these pretentious women day in and day out. I thought the book was pretty good. I would rate it a 3/5. I think that there was a pretty good twist, but it felt like a long road to get there.
