A searing portrait of wealthy living, and the highs – and lows – that come with it in a dazzling novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Penny Vincenzi.
‘Buy on a Friday, get home, turn off the phone and emerge on Monday replete with a tale well told. Guilty pleasures? We certainly all have them and this is better than most’ – Daily Express
There’s nothing like the contentment and security that money can bring. That’s how it is for Lucinda, Elizabeth and Flora, living the risk-free dream in the glittering eighties. Houses, holidays, happiness – everything is there for the taking.
The financial slide comes crashing into their lives with a vengeance, and everything they’ve built up so carefully dissolves into a pool of hopelessness, taking self-respect and relationships with it. Now, the secrets will out and within a year, someone will be dead.

Praise for AN ABSOLUTE SCANDAL: 'Buy on a Friday, get home, turn off the phone and emerge on Monday replete with a tale well told. Guilty pleasures? We certainly all have them and this is better than most'
'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 one name that continues to reign supreme, Penny Vincenzi'
'This is a big book and a terrifically entertaining one. It's also highly addictive'
