After spectacularly losing her job, Paige Lancaster, a screenwriter for a popular detective series, moves back to her hometown of Piermont, CT, with her eight-year-old daughter. Settling into the community, Paige joins her daughter’s school’s Parents Booster Association, which is run by the beautiful but ruthless Ainsley Anderson, supported by her cohort of admirers. When Ainsley is found dead the morning after the Parents and Pinot fundraising night, questions fly over whether she fell down the stairs or was pushed. Now Paige must use her sleuthing skills to find the truth. Scott’s (
Wish You Were Gone) latest is a fast-paced story full of mystery, money, and murder. Amanda Dolan, Sura Siu, and Lana Joffrey perfectly capture the small-town pettiness and the air of snobbery that infuses the characters’ every word. These women harbor many secrets, and there are plenty of reasons to distrust and dislike them all.
VERDICT Listeners will be captivated, guessing at one possible suspect and then another. A winner for fans of Liane Moriarty and Gillian Flynn.
