A destitute woman deceives her way into the guesthouse of a Hollywood Hills mansion and inadvertently becomes a target in the twisted game of the wealthy family upstairs in the next intoxicating novel from Eliza Jane Brazier.


Lyla has always believed that life is a game she is destined to win, but her husband, Graham, takes the game to dangerous levels. The wealthy couple invites self-made success stories to live in their guesthouse and then conspires to ruin their lives. After all, there is nothing worse than a bootstrapper. 
 
Demi has always felt like the odds were stacked against her. At the end of her rope, she seizes a risky opportunity to take over another person’s life and unwittingly becomes the subject of the upstairs couple’s wicked entertainment. But Demi has been struggling forever, and she’s not about to go down without a fight.  
 
In a twist that neither woman sees coming, the game quickly devolves into chaos and rockets toward an explosive conclusion.
 
Because every good rich person knows: in money and in life, it’s winner takes all. Even if you have to leave a few bodies behind.

Good rich people? No such thing

Do "Good Rich People" actually exist? According to the premise of Eliza Jane Brazier's new novel, absolutely not. From the outside, Lyla seems to have everything - her perfect, attractive husband, a beautiful home and wealth upon wealth; however, things are a bit more complicated than they appear. Lyla, Margo (her mother-in-law) and Graham (Lyla's husband) engage in twisted games of finding successful tenants to move in, all for the sport of tearing them down until they're reduced to a shell of their former selves.

I enjoyed the ingenuity of the plot, which made for a quick page-turner. The characters are not meant to be likeable..I don't think I liked any single character but somehow I still really wanted to see what happened to all the characters by the end. I did find the ending a bit anticlimactic based on the build-up but I was satisfied with a certain character getting what was coming to them. On a random note, I didn't enjoy how often Graham's "animal scent" was referenced .. it felt like a euphemism for really bad body odor - not something I enjoyed picturing every time it was mentioned.

Overall, it was a quick and entertaining read but I did want more from the ending. Thank you Berkley for my gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.

A solid novel.

Definitely had me turning the page. Ending felt a bit rushed and not all that shocking but overall enjoyed the novel.
