Jennifer Weiner is still in form with her latest novel Goodnight Nobody. When Kate Klein, semi-accidental mother of three, moves to a scenic Connecticut town, she falls victim to the drudgeries of suburbia. Her days are filled with endless games of Candy Land, the other mothers at the playground snub her, and her once-loving husband is hardly ever home. However, when a fellow mother is murdered, Kate decides to pursue an unofficial investigation into her death for the sake of having something interesting to do, despite both her husband’s and the chief-of-police’s warnings to leave it in the hands of the authorities. With the help from her best friend, Janie Segal, and old flame Evan McKenna, Kate is unwittingly drawn into a web of double lives, secrets, and lies that the small town of Upchurch have been attempting to conceal behind a pretty facade.
