Review title: Is this a roman a clef?
Product review: I picked this up because I was on a quest to read some Edgar Award winners. I thought it well-written and fun. But no one has noted this story, with minor changes, is set in an unnamed 1980's Oklahoma City (Ross Thomas's hometown) and gives a cynical history of the city and especially its wealthy neighborhood Nichols Hills. This fact should make it a must-read for OKC residents to suss out what thinly disguised landmarks and personages pop up in the tale.
