It's been awhile since I posted. I hope this is the right place to ask this question.
I am doing research for my next novel. My usual starting point is reading novels similar to what I want to write. I've searched Amazon and Goodreads, but not getting much help.
Briefly, the genre is dark/black comedy, more sexy rather than romantic with financial ruin revenge as the plot. No murder or cop stuff, nor is it a thriller. I plan to keep in the mainstream, women's fiction, or "chick lit" genre.
Think "The Help" meets "American Hustle" or "First wives club." However, the focus is on the haves-nots against the haves rather than racial, social, or sexism, etc. issues. I site movies as examples because I also write screenplays so its easier to think in those terms.
My next stop is the local library and bookstore. You can't replace the knowledge of book sellers and lenders in finding what you are looking for.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated either novels or authors that are similar.
