For Kate Klein, a semi-accidental mother of three,
suburbia's 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 one of the most interesting things to
happen in Upchurch since her neighbors broke ground for a
guesthouse and cracked their septic tank. Even though
Kate's husband and the police chief warn her that crime-
fighting's a job best left to professionals, she can't let
it go.
So Kate launches an unofficial investigation -- from 8:45
to 11:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, when her kids
are in nursery school -- with the help of her hilarious
best friend, carpet heiress Janie Segal, and Evan McKenna,
a former flame she thought she'd left behind in New York
City.
As the search for the killer progresses, Kate is drawn
deeper into the murdered woman's double life. She discovers
the secrets and lies behind Upchurch's placid picket-fence
facade -- and the choices and compromises all modern women
make as they navigate between independence and obligation,
small towns and big cities, being a mother and having a
life of one's own.
Engrossing, suspenseful, and laugh-out-loud funny,
Goodnight Nobody is another unputdownable, timely tale; an
insightful mystery with a great heart and a narrator you'll
never forget.
