Publisher's summary

Best friends Annie and Sarah need cash - fast. Sarah, a beautiful, successful lawyer, wants nothing more than to have a baby. But balancing IVF treatments with a grueling eighty-hour workweek is no walk in the park. Meanwhile, Annie, a Harvard-grad chemist recently transplanted to Southern California, is cutting coupons to afford her young autistic son's expensive therapy.

Desperate, the two friends come up with a brilliant plan: they'll combine Sarah's looks and Annie's brains to sell a "luxury" antiaging face cream to the wealthy, fading beauties in Annie's La Jolla book club. The scheme seems innocent enough, until Annie decides to add a special - and oh-so-illegal - ingredient that could bring their whole operation crashing to the ground.

Hilarious, intelligent, and warm, Crimes Against a Book Club is a delightful look at the lengths women will go to fend for their families and for one another.

LOVED the narration!

Looking at previous reviews, it seems you will either love or hate this narration, but I thought it was so perfect! There was so much emotion behind the characters and Katherine Kellgren transported me into their world. I think I had a permanent smile (except in the part I cried) through to whole thing! Fun chick lit story line too.

Very entertaining

One of the best narrated books I have read thus far. The narrator actually adds character to the voices. The storyline was fun and entertaining and quite unique.

you've got to read this!

This is the funniest and most delightful book into the minds of rich old women I have ever read. It's deliciously tongue in cheek story by a person who must know these women so intimately as to transform such characters into flesh and blood neurotics. I loved it.

Ridiculous.

Awful. Don't waste your time on this drivel. Makes women look greedy, conniving, totally unhappy, back stabbing, etc. no one is really redeemable or would you even care.

Unbearable narration

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I can't ever listen to anything by this narrator again. It was over the top voices that were at times strident and were completely distracting from the story. Some of the voices didn't even make sense - like the 'valley girl twang.' Horrible.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

It was a simple, predictable story - a light read.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Katherine Kellgren?

Anyone. Anyone at all.

excellent narration, witty and entertaining!

Absolutely loved this story! Kelgren's narration was fantastic. I found myself laughing out loud once the sh*t hit the fan. It was an easy listen. Definitely recommend this book.

Good book club humor.

At the start the premise was a little hard to go with and I was slow to warm up to the characters. But I really enjoyed her transitions from character to character; the way she used each character’s reaction to a book for insight into their actions and reactions in their lives. Her humor started to lighten the mood of the book and the characters and their friendships developed. Enjoyed it after the first couple chapters.
