Thank you so much author Clive La Pensée for the review copy. 

The Story talks about how a middle class girl goes into the world of rich people and how she copes up with it. It shows how the rich are always trying to keep up their dignity and try to hide their faults.

What is the Motive behind Vera asking Millie to be her companion? 

What are the reasons behind those unexpected deaths? 

Will Millie support her newly found friend and companion when time and situation asks her to be moral ? 

Will the friendship between Millie and Vera survive the tests of time?

Well u need to read this book to find out. 

I enjoyed this book so much. The story involves mystery, comedy, suspense and murder. It also involves some adult stuff so I wouldn't recommend it to children below 18.

The narration of the story is simple and I really liked the idea of diary writing to record their faults and come up with solutions. Because I love keeping a journal to record my daily activities. 

Overall i would recommend this book to everyone who loves mystery and suspense.
