The incredibly fraught choice that many women must make between being a career woman and being a good mother gets full play in this humorous mom-lit mystery by the author of LITTLE EARTHQUAKES. The neglect of her husband, the move from New York City to suburbia, and the relinquishing of her journalism job to raise her three small children has left Kate Klein feeling frustrated and grubby. But when she arrives for her planned lunch date with perfectly groomed supermom Kitty Cavanagh and discovers Kitty's corpse instead, Kate finds a fresh sense of purpose in a new occupation: amateur sleuth.
