  Social Crimes by Jane Stanton Hitchcock


This book is pretty interesting, because it's about New York high society.
Jo Slater is married to a multimillionaire that suddenly dies and leaves his fortune to a young French countess, leaving Jo broke. Slowly slowly she loses everything, and will do everything to get it back...

There were 2 things that bothered me. One was that for high society they sounded pretty vulgar (the F-word appeared a lot), and although I know nothing of that world it seemed out of character. Also, why doesn't the protagonist just move out of New York? Or just move around the non-millionaire people? She was broke by their standards, not normal people's...
