“Clark’s colorful cast of supporting characters – including a personal assistant with American Idol-like aspirations, a shady financial advisor, a few wannabe actresses, and an eccentric new step-mother – and change of setting will invigorate longtime readers. Further, the dilapidated Hollywood Hills estate that is Zelda’s temporary residence provides a backdrop nearly as vivid as its occupants. As is customary, serious issues such as the vulnerability of the newly prosperous and the prevalence of money-making schemes allow for enlightenment by way of entertainment.
Gypped is a fresh and fun new entry into a series that has always offset the horrors of everyday life with humor and heart. The real mystery here is how to prolong the book for more than just one sitting!”
