Reader Reviews
Even the classiest isn't immune from the lowest common denominator. Five-Star Fleecing looks into the life of Linda Lane, as she embraces her new career as manager of the Supreme Superior, a five star New York City hotel. But her classy career is not what it's cracked up to be as she soon finds herself again associating with criminals. Presented as a dark comedy, Five-Star Fleecing is a humorous delve into the underworld of class, highly recommended.
