This installment of the Melrose novels finds Patrick at thirty, no longer using excessive amounts of drugs, and trying to figure out just what he is doing in life. Most of the story centers around a huge party in a Gloucestershire manor for the creme de la creme of British society. Vicious satire about the wealthy abounds including a number of scathing portrayals of Princess Margaret. Of course, there are the marital infidelities, drunkenness, and the other vices one expects to see in stories of the type. I actually enjoyed it much better than the previous two novels.
