Even through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth—all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center of Bonds, a successful 1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read. Yet there are other versions of this tale of privilege and deceit.

Question everything you're reading in the first section. When you're finished reading the book, contemplate the first book, the second, etc. Truth, as always, will lie in the coda.

The victim looks exactly like Cassie and carries ID identifying herself as Alexandra Madison, an alias Cassie once used as an undercover cop. Suddenly, Cassie is back undercover, to find out not only who killed this young woman, but, more importantly, who she was.

Better than a whodunit.

A fine melange of character sketches and interconnectivity. Builds to a an ending, though predictable, is very satisfying.

Poor narrator
Revisado: 06-29-20
I got this Audible book because it was the same translator I had for the book, to which I read along. I heartily recommend this reading process, because the narration moves your eyes along and you use another sense to understand and appreciate the book. This comes from an English teacher of 34 years experience, seventh grade through graduate school.
The problem is the narrator. His sing-song voice does not give the book the gravity it deserves in parts. Worse yet, his pronunciation of French words and phrases is atrocious. This becomes a factor because Tsarist Russian nobility spoke much French: i.e. he pronounces "c'est" as "sest". Mon Dieu!

What do not say to others, even our lovers? What do we keep hidden or reveal?
