Spoiled heiress Pomona Afton is living her best socialite life — attending galas, racking up charges on the credit card that her grandmother pays off, club-hopping with her friends Opal and Coriander, etc — when the rug is pulled out from under her. Her aforementioned grandmother, head of Afton Hotels, has been murdered, and recently added clause in her will stipulates that none of her beneficiaries get anything until her murder is solved. So with the help of her new roommate, Pomona is out to catch the killer, while she also learns how to live without a penthouse and service staff.
As I read this, I felt like I was experiencing some weird Gossip Girl episode where Serena and Dan cosplayed as private detectives. While she's supposed to be a vapid socialite at the start, it took a bit too long for her to become a likeable character, for me to really care about Pomona getting her life back. It was OK, but nothing to write home about.
