    One of Dunne's Best
  

*by S***Z on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2019*

I'm a big Dominick Dunne fan and I really think this novel is one of his best. Dunne seems is equally fascinated and repulsed by the excessive lifestyles of the rich and indulged. Based on the Martha Moxley murder, Dunne patiently skewers his cast of highly unlikable characters. The narrator Harrison's references to "The Great Gatsby" are apt, as the Bradleys use, and ultimately destroy, those who dare to enter their orbit. I couldn't put it down!

    Fictional Story of the Martha Moxley Murder Case
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2015*

I really enjoyed 'A Season in Purgatory' which is based on the Martha Moxley murder. I have always been fascinated by Martha's case as I believe it received relatively little media attention when it actually happened and Dunne basically explains why. Martha was murdered during a time when money and family name meant a lot to society - enough to influence the justice system. The murderer is able to escape being prosecuted for many years because of his family's standing in society and it ways heavily on the narrator who knows the truth but feels he can't come forward. This is essentially what happened in real life with Martha's killer as well. Definitely an enjoyable read.

    Murder, Coverup, Political scumbaggery
  

*by C***X on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2019*

As you read this, you will immediately think of the Kennedys and the Skakels and the murder of Martha Moxley.  It seems the rich are different and can buy their way out of anything and it doesn’t matter what it costs because they have money.  Of course, they present themselves as a loving Catholic family, but appearances can be deceptive.  Dunn is great with these kinds of stories.
