About this ebook

While their husbands are out making money, making deals, and making . . . whatever, the trophy wives of New Falls are slipping not so quietly into middle age. Lauren, Bridget, Dana, and Caroline pretend to each other that their only problems are parties, plastic surgery, and which Mikimotos to buy. But behind the closed doors of their gracious homes there are broken hearts and broken promises . . . the stuff that gossip is made of.

And the newest dish du jour is a whopper! The husband of one of their oldest friends, who dumped his wife for a newer model—a sexier, flashier, sleeker hairdresser—is found dead, his ex-wife, Kitty, standing over him . . . holding the smoking gun.

Kitty claims she's innocent, and there are plenty of women around town who might want the rat dead. Now it's up to the women to discover where in their high-priced suburb a killer is hiding, and which good little wife has done something very, very wicked.

    This book has a juicy, Desperate Housewives-meets-murder mystery concept: five cosseted housewives, one dead husband, one smoking gun, and lots of secrets.Abby Drake does a good job bringing the Wisteria Lane-like town of New Falls to life, replete with rich women who have too much time on their hands and are therefore glad to have a mystery: who killed Vincent DeLano?Surprisingly, the pacing dragged for the first half of the book, then picked up speed near the ending. I was disappointed with the ending, but enjoyed the fun glimpse into a gossipy, privileged world.
