Goodnight Nobody

Goodnight Nobody earns a 4. It is an enjoyable chick book. Bored housewife Kate stumbles upon her perfect suburbanite neighbor murdered in the kitchen and becomes obsessed with the life of the neighbor she hardly knew. It's not easy to be a successful sleuth when carting three kids around. And Kate battles her inferiority complex everytime she stops to compare herself to the other super moms at the playground. With her zany, über-rich girlfriend from New York, who buys apartment buildings just to kick out the man that once broke her heart, an absent husband, and an opera singing mom hopped up on Ecstasy, Kate has her hands full. It's a good thing, too, as life in her little perfect town is reaching the limits of boredom.
