Sinopsis de LUNCHING THE GIRLS
Just how well do you know your friends? Meet Cully Mortimer. In his early fifties, pompous, patronising, and blind to his many shortcomings, Cully is a celebrated food writer and newspaper columnist in Manhattan whose lonely, resolutely single life revolves around the restaurants he reviews, and the women – always women – who join him for lunch and dinner. These companions – elegant wives, scheming mistresses, and steely career women – provide Cully with all the gloss, glamour, and social standing he desires. But he is neither as popular nor as dearly loved as he so fondly imagines, his celebrity and connections no defense when his carefully-constructed life is turned upside down. When one of his lunch companions is found dead, a bizarre set of coincidences and a cleverly-laid trail of evidence lead to Cully's arrest for murder. Realising he's been framed, he narrows down his list of suspects to four of the women he 'lunches'. Four very different suspects, with four very different motives. But which of them framed Cully? How can he trap them into confessing? And what does he learn about himself in the process?
