Posh: Book One of the Templeton Family Chronicles
by Jon Malysiak
GENRE: Fiction/Family Saga
PUBLICATION DATE: 05/02/2023
DESCRIPTION:
Meet the Templetons, one of England’s most illustrious dynasties, as they gather together at their Dorset estate for their annual weekend of horse-racing, familial one-upmanship, and unabashed poshness. But this year, all is not what it seems.
Lord Carleton is on his deathbed. His new wife, Lady Eliza Brookings, is hell-bent on dragging the family into the 21st century with the help of the formidable ex-nun (and ex-con) Sister Francine. There’s five hundred thousand in mixed currencies stolen from some very shady Russians, a succession battle looming, and a mysterious and dangerously beautiful woman named Svetlana Slutskaya on the march with her army of Death Angels, intent on overthrowing the patriarchy and establishing a new world order.
The White Lotus meets Brideshead Revisited, Posh introduces readers to a world of power and privilege, where absolutely nothing is sacred.
There’s the way of the world. And then there's the Templeton way.

REVIEWS:
5.0 out of 5 stars A dark and thrilling read!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧
Posh is strangely addictive and consuming! Each and every person in the story is loathsome and awful in a myriad of ways. Yet, the characters still hold a lot of appeal with their depth and the unabashed candour of their thoughts.
I can definitely see this book becoming a hit TV show!
5.0 out of 5 stars A fabulous 5-star journey into a scandalous family's world
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧
From the very first page, Posh grabs your attention. The vivid descriptions allow you to indulge in the luxurious lifestyle of the Templeton family. The story is scandalous and I'm all for it. I wholeheartedly recommend!
5.0 out of 5 stars Behind the curtain
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸
A look into the lives of the rich, but not famous. Infamous is more fitting this family. The characters are easy to hate—but what’s not to love about that?
