David Osgood has had a varied life – very varied. And at every stage he has had a profound impact on the women in his life, from his mother to his daughter, and including his wife, lovers and their families. Through the eyes of Clare, a UK housewife; Jo, a publishing executive, and Abby, a pole dancer from Taranaki, we learn about life’s twists and turns when beauty is barely even skin deep. But only when a body is found in the swimming pool by a Hollywood starlet do they discover the ugly truth about The Most Beautiful Man in the World. On a trip through the 80s, 90s and noughties taking in the UK, NZ and US, the author delves into a very murky past, in a novel which is both contemporary women’s fiction and thriller. Previously published by Penguin NZ, now with a new cover and formatting.
