    • Manchmal muss man alte Wunden öffnen, um sein Glück zu finden Zu ihrem 18. Geburtstag bekam die Schauspielerin Tilly Beaumont 1947 eine atemberaubend schöne Halskette geschenkt. Das Schmuckstück begleitete sie durch ihre ruhmreiche Karriere hindurch und zierte ihren Hals auf den glamourösesten Partys – bis sie auf einmal spurlos verschwand. Jahre später bittet Tilly ihr Enkelin Sophia, die Kette zu finden. Sophia hat gerade schmerzlich erfahren, dass man mit gutem Aussehen und dolce vita allein keine Rechnungen bezahlen kann. Die wertvolle Perlenkette könnte nun einige ihrer Probleme lösen. Aber was sind die eigentlichen Gründe für Tillys Auftrag? Und wie soll Sophia ein Erbstück finden, das sie noch nie gesehen hat?

      Laura McNaughton's life is almost perfect. She's young, pretty and she has a fabulous job on a glossy magazine, which involves interviewing celebrities (and air-brushing their personalities). But when she is offered a job presenting a trendy Friday night television show she can't resist the opportunity to experience fame first hand. Putting her puritanical Scottish upbringing, her intellectual boyfriend and her hippy best friend behind her, she soon hooks up with world-famous actress Lucy Lloyd and gorgeous, infamous rock god Ricky Jones, who introduce her to a hedonistic world of partying where appearance is everything and nothing really matters but sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. But as the stories about her private life become front page news, Laura begins to doubt those closest to her, and her life starts to spiral dangerously out of control. Packed with passion, glamour and danger, DROP DEAD GORGEOUS is a unmissable glimpse into the fame game - and the price you have to pay to play it.

      This magical tale of love and friendship centres around the tiny, but exclusive, village of Combe which is situated six miles from Bath and largely inhabited by ageing millionaires who enjoy hunting, shooting, fishing, bitching about each other and playing bridge. In other words the village is not so much a sleepy backwater (as the estate agent calls it) but is actually in a coma. In this village live four frustrated young women - RACHEL (whose marriage is in crisis as she tries to cope with motherhood and country life after leaving her glamorous London PR job), HARRIET (bright, bitchy, aristocratic supermodel who once ruled the catwalk in the early nineties but now has no outlet for her talents), BIANCA (pretty, sunshiney, blonde ex-glamour model who married an eighties pop legend, and isn't as dumb as people assume she is) and elusive Summer (single mother, with a hippy wardrobe who keeps herself to herself, has no money and a big secret). When a sexy, enigmatic young millionaire, Jack, arrives in Combe and throws a massive party for all the villagers, everything starts to change. Rumours abound - Where did he come from? What does he do? How did he make his money? Drugs? Human trafficking? Prostitution? The villagers are intrigued, and the four young women are particularly drawn to him, and to each other, despite their differences. And he, in turn, transforms their lives...
