"In a fast-paced new novel in the vein of Big Little Lies, a single mom goes undercover to investigate a host of disturbing secrets held by the leaders of a local suburban parent-school association, including embezzlement, bribery, adultery, and murder--by the bestselling author of Wish You Were Gone. Paige Lancaster, single mom and prodigal daughter, has returned to the East Coast from her prestigious, well-paid job in Los Angeles, writing for the smartest detective series on television. Something terrible happened to her back in Hollywood. Okay, two terrible things, one featuring a misplaced tire iron--and now she's broke, homeless, and living with her widowed mother and eight-year-old daughter, Izzy, in her Connecticut hometown. Paige needs to buckle down and find a new writing gig but first, she meets the movers and shakers of Izzy's school's Parent Booster Association, run by the intimidatingly gorgeous Ainsley Anderson, who just happens to be married to Paige's old high school flame, John. Then she shows up at the annual Parents and Pinot fundraiser, held at Ainsley and John's dazzling mansion in the toniest part of town, where she's caught in a compromising position with John, accidentally destroys the guest bathroom, overhears an incriminating conversation, and discovers that her purse has gone missing. And later that night, Ainsley turns up dead at the bottom of her own driveway. Did she fall? Or was she pushed? Paige may have only written about detectives, but she is convinced she can handle a little undercover sleuthing. After all, it'll give her an excuse to spend more time with John. Still, she can't help but wonder: could he be capable of murder? Or could one of the PBA members have planned a dastardly crime to reach the top? But the most important question of all: will Paige ever get her life back on track?"--… (more)

The Real Housewives meet Desperate Housewives meet Big Little Lies in this domestic thriller set in a wealthy area of Connecticut.

Paige returns home from LA with her tail between her legs after losing her job and a few other mistakes. She and her daughter move in with her Mom. She walks her daughter to school and has the ‘pleasure’ if meeting the PTA czars. These women are over the top and will stop at nothing to be the best! But, everyone has secrets and some are bigger than others! Is Paige the one to uncover the truths?

Enjoyable read, slow in parts and then the ending had almost too much going on in a short time frame.

Thanks to Gallery Books and NetGalley for this ARC. Opinion is mine alone. ( )

This was a fun, entertaining read. Being a mom of 3 I enjoyed the real life feel of this book, the drama, jealousy, and love that comes with motherhood, marriage, and friendships. Paige, a single mom, returns to live with her mother in the suburban neighborhood she grew up in. PTA seems to be everything for anyone with children in this town. When the head of PTA and queen bee of the mom clique is murdered, Paige starts investigating. They all have secrets and plenty of people have a reason to dislike the victim. Written in multiple POV, good plot, I never would’ve guessed the twist at the end. I would recommend this book to fans of Big Little Lies and my fellow mom friends! Huge thank you to NetGalley for the advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. ( )
