VERY IMPRESSIVE

Pat Booth became a household name with this novel, her first American published work. Five other UK published books preceded this one. It's clear to say she followed Jackie Collins' roman à clef style to pen (yet again) a wonderful wicked page-turner herslef. PALM BEACH chronicles the ups and downs of two misfits yearning to find one another despite the odds. Typical stuff you might say, but what sets the novel apart from the many paint-by-the-numbers releases out there is in its unique approach of style. Booth uses a lyrical undertone while building a richer and craftier plot. Indeed, she works hard to create a variation on the same theme. Make no mistake, PALM BEACH is a beach read: you get all the stereotypical fluff expected, but with an added edge to it that makes the reading experience all the more worthwhile. No wonder it became an international bestseller.-----Martin Boucher

A Steamy Novel

I am writing to try to reach Pat Booth.

Pat, I have the hottest story for you. It is a true story. It deals with money, power and murder in Palm Beach, Fl. I would like you to e-mail me and let me know when you are going to be in the area. If you are not going to be in the area soon I would like you to make a special trip to Palm Beach on me. We could have lunch. I would really appreciate it if you could e-mail me with a response as soon as possible. Ted
