Five-Star FLEECING a book reviewed last May on Manhattan style is an adult-themed comedy concerning corporate theft through the eyes of Linda Lane, a naïve yet ambitious New Yorker. A fast paced and satisfying romp in the hospitality industry, Five-Star FLEECING mixes it all up- distortions in time and space, hotel guests, celebrities, paparazzi, duplicity, crazed employees, karma-and spins almost out of control.
Maura Stone’s first novel, “Five-Star FLEECING” astounded friends and critics alike, considering her background as a commercial banker. Despite this handicap, Five- Star received rave reviews prompted by a very scarring stint in one of the top luxury
hotels in NYC.
