For Kate Klein, a semi-accidental mother of three, suburbia has
been full of unpleasant surprises. Her once-loving husband is
hardly ever home. The supermommies on the playground routinely snub
her. Her days are spent carpooling and enduring endless games of
Candy Land, and at night, most of her orgasms are of the
do-it-yourself variety.
When a fellow mother is murdered, Kate finds that the unsolved
mystery is the most exciting thing to happen in Upchurch,
Connecticut, since her neighbors broke ground for a guesthouse and
cracked their septic tank. Even though the local police chief warns
her that crime-fighting's a job best left to the professionals,
Kate launches an unofficial investigation -- from 8:45 to 11:30 on
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, when her kids are in nursery
school.
As Kate is drawn deeper into the murdered woman's past, she begins
to uncover the secrets and lies behind Upchurch's picket-fence
facade -- and considers the choices and compromises all modern
women make as they navigate between marriage and independence,
small towns and big cities, being a mother and having a life of
one's own.
