Goodnight Nobody by Jennifer Weiner
Kate Klein, an "accidental mother of three" in suburban Connecticut, misses New York City and just doesn't seem to fit in with all of the expensively dressed mommies. A former journalist, Kate is bored staying at home until the day she is invited to lunch at a neighbor's house and finds the woman's body lying in a pool of blood. With the help of her outrageous best friend and a detective, a former flame from New York, she swiftly begins her own investigation into the murder, uncovering plenty of suburban secrets along the way.

This felt very sex and the city goes to the suburbs to me. It was fun and reader did a great job using various voices for the different characters. I just found the main character, Kate, really annoying. She whined about being a mother, she whined about being married, she whined about not having a good mother figure, she whined about her husband not being home, then whined when he was. I think you get the picture. She has great friends and family, personally more then she deserves with how she goes on and on about life. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the book, I just got tired of her "voice".
