Critics Review
“Sherman delves in this juicy melodrama into the caustic, decades-long family feud over the inheritance of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire… . The saga reads like a real-life Succession, a comparison even the family can see, as evidenced by their paranoia about possible leaks to the show’s writers. Readers will be riveted by this merciless battle for dynastic dominance.” * Publishers Weekly *
“A real-life Succession drama, in all its inglorious tawdriness… . It’s a story with as much moral relevance as King Lear… . Almost certainly guaranteed not to win Rupert Murdoch any new admirers.” * Kirkus Reviews *
