Format:Hardcover
I took Daddy's Girls on holiday because I thought it sounded fun and escapist and it didn't disappoint. It reminded me of those Eighties airport novels like Lace but brought bang up to date with glamorous locations, hip bars and restaurants and lots of designer labels.
But unlike lots of those sex and shopping novels this one has actually got a plot. It follows the story of four famous, glamorous sisters (think girls like Sienna Miller) who all have fabulous high profile careers but become suspects for murder when their father Lord Balcon is found dead after a family party. Who did it? You'll find out in the final chapter!
Set in the world of glossy women's magazines, interior design, politics and showbiz Daddy's Girls is a modern day bonkbuster full of eye watering sex and high-end glamour, with a couple of great 'will-they/won't-they' romances chucked in for good measure. If you like the sound of a written, modern day version of Dallas or Dynasty - set amongst the British big achievers - this is for you. Great fun.

Format:Paperback
I suppose I enjoyed this book, for the most part, a good bonkfest set in glamourous locations is always in order in my opinion. However, having four pivotal characters, all with their own set of contacts, was confusing and I was halfway through the book before I didnt have to quickly try and remember which of the sisters it was referrring to as I was reading which was a tad irritating; It was also lacking in character development, leaving me reading about four people who I knew little about (except they all looked the same) and therefore couldnt really sympathise with. I also felt that 'daddy' was a little too evil to be believable...
The constant name dropping was tiresome and didnt make for easy reading either. There was a tendancy to describe the minutae all of the time rather than concentrating on the plot. The book begins at the end (which I usually love), with a murder though I remain disappointed as to why the author decided to choose who she did as the perpetrator of the crime, I ended up speed reading the last few chapters because of this - it just got silly!
I probably will have a look at her next book but won't be fighting anyone for the hardback.

I've been looking for something like Jackie Collins for ages, and this ticks every single box there is. It has glamour, sex, and a sizzling murder mystery running all the way through it.
So many of these novels don'thave the substance, but this had everything. Reading this novel was like being in another world.
More more more from Tasmina Perry.

Fabulous darling
I picked this up randomly at an airport, never having read chick lit before (apart from a couple of old skool Jackie Collins). Tamsina Perry won me over in ten pages. Read more
