To protect their lavish allowances, four charismatic sisters in their thirties try to seduce, cajole, and mislead: Entitled, Humorous Fiction by Leonard H. Orr Book Tour

 

Synopsis (from Amazon):

To protect their lavish allowances, four charismatic sisters in their thirties try to seduce, cajole, and mislead their less well-off neighbor Benjamin, who their father has hired to investigate an attempt to smother him while he was in the hospital recovering from a car crash. Their feckless brother responds by threatening Benjamin with a shotgun, while their socialite mother falsely confesses to the crime. Trying to dominate everyone is their father, a wheeling, dealing, helicopter-flying entrepreneur who is afraid he might have hallucinated the smothering, even more afraid that it might have been real, and terrified that he might be losing control of his family and fortune. Desperate, he implements a devious and dastardly scheme . . .

 

Played out on the fashionable Connecticut shore and Manhattan's Upper East Side, the shenanigans of the entitled rich don't prevent Benjamin from finding the truth, and maybe even love.

Praise:

 

"A knotted and frequently engaging tale of deception and family secrets." –  Kirkus Reviews

"In his literary debut, Leonard Orr demonstrates that he is a superb writer of spare, precise, and compelling prose. At the core of Entitled is hyperwealth and how it embroils a family. Like the The Great Gatsby, Orr's gripping novel brings romance, selfishness, familial enmity, irony (even a touch of humor), and terrible tragedy to these lives of privilege. I highly recommend it."  – Peter Carry, writer, editor

"The twisted plot of this surprising whodunnit is a hunt for who didn't do it-who it was that tried but failed to kill the rich and ruthless old patriarch. From the start, however, those suspects include even the old man's loved ones. Set among the strivers and connivers of New York's upper 1%, Orr's engaging tale is a feast of family dysfunction, privilege, and secrets." – William C. Rempel, bestselling author of The Gambler and At the Devil's Table

"This is an intelligent, strong, intricate narrative, carried along by characters who are well drawn and complete, at least for the purposes they play in this narrative. While Benjamin claims much of the spotlight, Charlie Cantling's presence is remarkable in its various roles - catalyst, antagonist, egomaniacal patriarch, with personal traits that all point to meanness and manipulation. Beyond that, four distinctive sisters, a woebegone brother, and Benjamin's own brother come across as the various components of a complex mélange, each with his or her own psychological damage stemming from Charlie's machinations. There's a sophistication to all this that is quite refreshing, and very well done." – Greg Fields, author of The Bright Freight of Memory
