One of Janowitz's favorite books is The Inn at Lake Devine by Elinor Lipman.[4]

In addition to her earlier works such as The Lonely Hearts Club and The Dinner Party, Janowitz has written three novels inspired by stars and films of Hollywood's golden age: The Grace Kelly Dress, The Liz Taylor Ring, and The Audrey Hepburn Estate. Kirkus Reviews called The Liz Taylor Ring "a fun, flirty, well-paced sibling-inheritance story" and called the author's note in The Audrey Hepburn Estate "fascinating".[23]

The Audrey Hepburn Estate" by Brenda Janowitz has been selected as the next read for the CBS New York Book Club with Mary Calvi.[24]
