Self-Published Sunday Jessica Dee Rohm Sugar Tower

There have been many words bandied about trying to put those that are self- published in a bad light lately, and I for one am really surprised. Sugar Tower by Jessica Dee Rohm was a quarter finalists for the 2010
Amazon Breakthrough Novel of The Year and with good reason. Basically it is a
well written novel that grabbed me right away and made it very difficult for me
to put it down. Here is the synopsis of the novel : “The great real estate
crash has pulled the rug out from beneath the feet of one of New York’s best
known developers. While he struggles to keep his family dynasty afloat, his
wife is found dead in the swimming pool of his newest trophy condominium, Sugar
Tower. The newspaper reporter covering the real estate beat at the City’s
second largest daily becomes obsessed with investigating the death of the
developer’s wife and inadvertently discovers secrets about Sugar Tower’s
wealthy occupants, normally guarded by doorman and concierges, as well as a few
about herself.”


Here is a quote from Jessica herself as she answered a few questions for the New York Daily News, “If you want to know what really goes on inside these million-dollar apartments in those glass towers, here's your
chance to find out the easy way. Rohm would know. She was the managing director
of The Residences at the Ritz-Carlton, Westchester, where she sold out the
first tower at record prices for the area. She also lives there. Think
"Sex and the City" with a real estate angle and a murder twist.
“Developers are such fascinating people," says Rohm. "They aren't
risk takers, they're gamblers. When they win, they win big. When they lose,
they lose big. The book explores that."


Sugar Tower is a mix of many different things and that is what drew me in as I read through it. Her narrative, given her experiences, makes this novel an intense and captivating read. The characters are strong,
intense and driven. Given her position in the real estate industry one can only
imagine what is fact and what is fiction as we get an opportunity to walk in
some rare air as the money flies around and the stakes go higher and higher. Jessica
Dee Rohm delivers a novel that satisfies on all levels. I for one am happy to
have read this. Give it a try; click the Amazon button to order the novel or at
the very least put it in your to read list on Goodreads or Shelfari. Here is
