Predictably cranky Jack sips an improperly muddled cocktail at the hidden and exclusive Campbell Apartments with his new husband, Walker, while Beatrice - onetime Manhattan “Glitterary Girl,” now struggling writer - is perched on her usual stool at Murphy’s Irish Pub. In from the ritzy Westchester suburbs, Melody - the youngest at 39 - obsessively monitors the whereabouts of her twin 16-year-old daughters on her phone’s Stalkerville app while imbibing the least expensive glass of white wine at the Hyatt Hotel’s lobby bar. In one of the novel’s early scenes, each of the Plumb siblings is downing a cocktail at a different watering hole near New York City’s Grand Central Station. On that second point, before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s dispense with the plot particulars.
