From Amazon.co.uk

Remember the 80s, when padded shoulders and big hair sprayed 'dos were all the rage? Louise Bagshawe, it seems, is spearheading an 80s literary revival The Devil You Know is this young author's seventh novel (other titles include Career Girls, Tall Poppies, A Kept Woman, so you know this author's stalking ground; money, men, high-flying jobs) and stars three sisters who defiantly want it all.

The opening 20 pages are a little ludicrous, featuring an evil brother, a handsome, daredevil Italian count, his gypsy wife, and their triplet girls who are adopted, following their parents' horrible murders. The action swishes ahead a bit and we meet gorgeous Rose, who lives in a poor area of New York, but who is destined to become a property tycoon. Then there's stunning Poppy, an American Jewish princess obsessed by heavy metal, and who ends up in the rock & roll world. And lastly there's Daisy, overweight and stuck in an English boarding school. But with a little application she sheds the pounds and transforms herself into a best selling romantic novelist.

So that's the ambitious careers sorted out. But what about their love lives? Just as glamorous; the Superwomen end up with a real estate giant, a senator and a media magnate respectively. The Devil You Know is a high concept read where revenge is always sweet and the grooming impeccable. --Eithne Farry --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Same As Before, But Never Boring, Janv. 11 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: The Devil You Know: A Novel (Hardcover)
First, I have to say that I really admire and respect Ms. Bagshawe for having obtained so much success at such a young age. I wish I had the amount of ambition and intelligence Ms Bagshawe has.

Second, although "The Devil You Know" has the same formula as all of Ms. Bagshawe's books- beautiful, ambitious women
+ sexist as well as sexy, rich men- she never fails to suck the reader in with her juicy plots until she or he almost physically cannot put the book down and has devoured every deliciously naughty detail.

Lastly, I would definitely recommend "The Devil You Know" and all of Ms. Bagshawe's books to any one who wants a vacation from his or her-mostly her-drab little life and wants to explore the world of some of the sexiest and most ambitious characters ever in print.

4.0étoiles sur 5 An interesting read, Janv. 5 2004
Par Isobel Lockwood (new york, NY, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Devil You Know: A Novel (Hardcover)
It's about 3 girls who are the decendents of a wealthy royal family but because of their jealous-filled uncle, their parents are dead and they grow up not knowing each other in different parts of the world. The triplets' struggles in succeding in their chosen fields lead them to find each other and avenge their birth-parent's murderer. If you liked this author's preious books and enjoy her style you'll love this one.
