Entitled - Paperback

"A knotted and frequently engaging tale of deception and family secrets." -Kirkus Reviews

"...Orr demonstrates that he is a superb writer of spare, precise, and compelling prose." -Peter Carry, writer, editor

"...Orr's engaging tale is a feast of family disfunction, privilege, and secrets." -William C. Rempel, bestselling author of The Gambler and At the Devil's Table

To protect their lavish allowances, four charismatic sisters in their thirties try to seduce, cajole, and mislead their less well-off neighbor Benjamin, who their father has hired to investigate an attempt to smother him while he was in the hospital recovering from a car crash. Their feckless brother responds by threatening Benjamin with a shotgun, while their socialite mother falsely confesses to the crime. Trying to dominate everyone is their father, a wheeling, dealing, helicopter-flying entrepreneur who is afraid he might have hallucinated the smothering, even more afraid that it might have been real, and terrified that he might be losing control of his family and fortune. Desperate, he implements a devious and dastardly scheme . . .

Played out on the fashionable Connecticut shore and Manhattan's Upper East Side, the shenanigans of the entitled rich don't prevent Benjamin from finding the truth, and maybe even love.
