the other book review

Kate Stein is a house­wife. Together with her hus­band Ben and her three chil­dren she lives in Upchurch, a lit­tle city in Con­necti­cut with, so it seems, only per­fect house­wives. The prob­lem is, she is not one of them. She can’t look sophis­ti­cated, doing the house­hold, look­ing after the kids, have time for extracur­ric­u­lar activ­i­ties all at the same time.
She is used to the lifestyle of New York where she has lived most of her life. First together with her par­ents, then together with her best friend Janie and even with Ben for a lit­tle while. But New York is no more and she is bored. What can hap­pen to make her feel like an inde­pen­dent woman with her own life again? Well…a mur­der! One of the per­fect wives is mur­dered under sus­pi­cious cir­cum­stances. Why should a nor­mal house­wife be killed and who did it? Kate is intrigued and deter­ment to unravvel this mys­tery. Will she suc­ceed together with Janie and her old flame Evan?

I really enjoyed this book. It’s a good mix of humor, chick lit and thriller and Kate and Janie are mem­o­rable characters.
