Media reviews

"Sexy, and filled with enough dTcor details to keep any HGTV addict happy."
-People (three stars)

"Entertaining. You don't so much read a novel like this as watch it unfold, scene by scene."
-Los Angeles Times

"A mix of True Confessions, Architectural Digest, and Psychology Today."
-USA Today

"Murphy captures the absurd humor that often springs from extreme wealth. But where the novel's real charms lie is in [its] insightful observations of the thorny relationship between humans and their domiciles."
-Kirkus Reviews
