"Take one posh university, mix in a queen bee, throw in a murder, and you''ve got a mystery that makes Heathers look almost snoozy." - Cosmopolitan on Party Girls Die in Pearls "A rollicking murder mystery. a wildly entertaining romp. Laugh? I died." - Vogue on Party Girls Die in Pearls "As fizzy and moreish (Britspeak for ''delectable'') as a glass of pink champagne, this murder mystery by a fashionista turned fiction writer uncorks a detective series set at England''s august Oxford College. But this novel is more than a chick-lit whodunit. In the telling, Sykes, an Oxford alum herself, lays bare the institution''s arcane norms and reconstructs the scene of a crime against humanity: the over-the-top decadence of the Material Girl era." - O, the Oprah Magazine on Party Girls Die in Pearls "Into the blender go Anita Loos, Bridget Jones, Sex and the City, and Clueless; out comes a diabolically amusing concoction.

" - New York Times on Bergdorf Blondes "Perfectly pitched--playful, funny, satirical and sweet. I laughed out loud many times." - Anna Wintour on Bergdorf Blondes "The latest from the beloved Bergdorf Blondes author is a comedy of manners with an emphasis on the comedy. In Sykes''s skilled and observant hands, however, madcap fare is always more than just a good time, it''s a nuanced look inside a specific world, where even the most humorous happenings can tell us something meaningful about the decidedly less glamorous lives we mere readers live." - Town and Country, "The 45 Must-Read Books of Spring" "The satire of the summer." - Air Mail "Sweetly eviscerates the foibles of England''s wealthy and fashionable Cotswolds set. Sykes.has a Nancy-Mitfordesque ability to skewer a scene like an outsider while still providing the detail that only an insider, or at least near insider, could offer.

" - Amanda Taub, The New York Times "WIVES LIKE US may be set in the most gorgeous English manor house, but I''d happily sleep in the shed if it meant I could tag along with these marvelous characters--Tata, Minty, and their chic and crafty butler." - Jenny Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Pineapple Street "A fabulous and funny bucolic romp--Plum Sykes does it again." - Hannah Rothschild, author of The Improbability of Love "Sykes delivers another wickedly funny look at the upper crust when wealthy American divorcees invade the British countryside and a stately home worthy of Downton Abbey." - Parade, "Best New Book Releases" "Floats like cherry blossom onto a chalk stream. Sykes has chosen a rich (as in minted) target, and she is well-equipped to take aim. When it comes to the lifestyles of the UHNWs (ultra-high-net-worths) of Poshtershire, she knows. And she certainly can write. Some novels make one''s mouth water because descriptions of food saturate their pages like butter-soaked muslin.

Here it''s clothes. Designer clothes. It''s cleverly structured, very well-written and has a delicious, knowing ending." - The Spectator (UK) "I absolutely adored Wives Like Us, I thought it was so fun and funny, a romp and a riot--and a glorious dollop of much needed escapism." - Daisy Buchanan "A stiletto-sharp look at the glamorous end of the Cotswolds. I loved it!" - Katie Fforde "A forensically well-observed narrative. Will it do for the Cotswolds what F. Scott Fitzgerald did for the Hamptons.

A shiny satirette of country living where everyone is unmuddied but filthy rich." - The Times (London) "Sykes gives Kevin Kwan a run for his money in this saga of obscene wealth, designer outfits, miniature dog breeds, and over-the-top landscaping set in Oxfordshire, a rural area of vast estates now mostly in the hands of the nouveau riche. Crazy Rich Brits may not have the amazing cuisine of their Asian counterparts, but they are just as scheming, fabulous, and fun to read about. You''ll dive in and never look back." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "The Real Housewives meets Downton Abbey in this modern-day comedy of manners. Full of sly commentary. an escapist, dishy read." - Booklist "Sykes''s (Bergdorf Blondes) new novel moves from New York to the English countryside but maintains her humorous focus on the elite lives of rich (though not always happy) women.

Light and fun with just a hint of gentle satire, this novel will delight Sykes''s fans." - Library Journal "Delectable. The silly, lovable heroines at the heart of this satire are mostly paired up anyway--but what''s to stop them from hunting for husband number two? Sykes sets the modern-day measures of social influence (Instagram followers, bikini line start-ups, glam teams at one''s beck and call) against the traditional Cotswold landscape of manor houses and horse stables, and the result is a delightful mash-up: a loving portrait of a social milieu that recognizes the value of tradition but is also perpetually chasing what''s new." - Vogue, Best Books of the Year So Far "Wives Like Us made me laugh so hard I actually knocked over my lamp. Can a book be so wickedly smart, so effortless, so chic and hilarious that you would stumble through the night to find a new lightbulb just so you can keep reading way past your bedtime? In a word, yes. A delectable tale that you never want to end. I would risk all the lamps in my house to read stand-alone novels about every single character in this book!" - Kevin Kwan, New York Times bestselling author of Lies and Weddings and Crazy Rich Asians.
