Title: A thriller about the lifestyles of the rich and vicious.
Product review: "Suspicion of Malice" is another nicely done novel by Barbara Parker. She brings back the angst-ridden duo of Gail Connor and Anthony Quintana. These two lawyers and former lovers join forces to clear the name of Bobby Gonzalez, a male ballet dancer who is dating Anthony's daughter, Angela. They are investigating the death of Roger Cresswell, a wealthy young man whose family has made a fortune building boats. The members of Roger's family are, for the most part, incredibly dysfunctional and vicious people. They are a modern version of the Borgias, with their dark secrets and conniving ways. Parker writes sharp dialogue and brings a sizable cast of characters to life. I especially enjoyed the interaction between Gail and Anthony. Sparks fly whenever they are around. The ending is a little over the top, but overall, I recommend this thriller for its lively characterizations and for the wonderful pairing of Connor and Quintana.
