True crime reporter John Glatt tells the whole story of this twisted case of passion, perversion, and paradise lost, in Prince of Paradise.Ben Novack, Jr. was born into a life of luxury and opulence. Heir to the legendary Fontainebleau hotel, he spent his childhood surrounded by some of the worlds biggest stars, including Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack, Elvis Presley, and AnnMargret, who performed regularly at the Fontainebleaus La Ronde Room. He sat by while his parents entertained presidents and movie stars, as they reigned over Miami Beach in the 50s and 60s, and when the family business went sour he became wealthy in his own right, founding a multimillion dollar business using connections he made at the Fontainebleau.But Ben, Jr.s luxurious, celebritystudded lifestyle would end in another hotel rooma thousand miles away from the one where he grew upwhen police found him bound up in duct tape, beaten to death.Seven years earlier, police found Novack in an eerily similar situationwhen his wife Narcy ducttaped him to a chair for twentyfour hours and robbed him. Claiming it was a sex game, he never pressed charges and never followed through with a divorce. Now prosecutors claimed Narcy let the vicious killers into the room and watched as they beat her husband with dumbbells. They also suspected she was involved in the horrendous death of Novacks mother, just three months before. But it would be Narcys own daughter who implicated her to the police.

I was excited to read about a life of luxury but was disappointed with how the storyline played out. Some parts felt forced, and I struggled to connect with characters. It wasn’t terrible, but I wouldn't read it again.

Interesting Story, But Somewhat Slow
The beginning started off a bit slow for my taste, but once I got into the meat of the story, I was hooked. The characters are well-developed, especially the wife; her seduction tactics were pretty intriguing. Just wish it moved a little quicker!

Fascinating True Story
This book was such a fascinating dive into a real-life murder case intertwined with luxury and deceit. I couldn't believe how well it was researched! Perfect for anyone who loves true crime or hotel histories.

Gripping from Start to Finish!
Wow, what a story! The detailing of the hotel heir’s life was so vivid, I felt like I was right there with him. The wife's role added a great layer of complexity; I just couldn't put it down until I finished!

Mediocre at Best
Honestly, I expected more from this story. The plot had a good premise but felt a bit predictable in the second half. It’s a decent read if you're looking for something light, but don’t go in with high expectations.
