The Heiresses is a whip-smart mystery that simmers with the wicked sense of humor and intrigue that made Sara Shepard's number one New York Times bestselling Pretty Little Liars series a must-read, must-watch phenomenon. Now they must uncover the truth about their family before they lose the only thing money can't buy: their lives.

or murder? In the aftermath of the tragedy, the remaining heiresses-Corinne, the perfectionist Rowan, the workaholic Aster, the hedonist and Natasha, the enigma-wrestle with feelings of sadness, guilt, and, most of all, fear. Then her cousins receive an ominous threat: one heiress down, four to go. Everyone is shocked that a woman who had it all would end her own life. Tragedy strikes the prominent family yet again when thirty-four-year-old Poppy, the most exquisite Saybrook of them all, flings herself from the window of her TriBeCa office. But being a Saybrook comes at a price-they are heirs not only to a dizzying fortune but also to a decades-old family curse. Beauties, entrepreneurs, debutantes, and style mavens, they are the epitome of New York City's high society. The only thing more flawless than a Saybrook's diamond solitaire is the family behind the jewelry empire. Perhaps while walking along that choice block on Fifth Avenue, you've been tempted to enter the ornate limestone building with their family name etched into the pediment above the door. Perhaps you've read a profile of them in People or have seen their pictures in the society pages of Vogue. Overall, with its gripping plot and innate intrigue, The Heiresses is your perfect summer read.You know the Saybrooks. It can’t be categorized as a Young Adult novel, per se, but it is the sort of book that both adults and mature YA readers can enjoy. Fast-paced from the beginning, the story’s twists will keep readers hooked, and the characters don’t feel contrived, a rarity amongst novels about high-class society. Though it is, essentially, a Gossip Girl– Pretty Little Liars hybrid, The Heiresses is thrilling and enjoyable to read. The remaining heiresses are left to solve the mystery of Poppy’s death while they watch out for their own lives, as well. The Saybrooks have always chalked their “curse” up to tabloid rumors…until their seemingly perfect cousin Poppy jumps to her death, and an ominous threat saying “one heiress down, four to go” is left in her wake. Set in a Gossip Girl-style society, the novel follows the lives of the Saybrook family, which has been plagued with mysterious deaths since the beginning of their wealthy existence. Sara Shepard’s latest novel, an upscale mystery about four heiresses to one of New York’s most prestigious diamond companies, leaves little to be desired for fans of her Pretty Little Liars series.
