Kate Austen is a woman not of affluence but is living in an affluent neighborhood. She has a five year old daughter whom she adores, a baby on the way, a husband who has gone off to Europe to "find himself" because he doesn't feel the secure life Kate desires is for him, and concern about how she is going to pay the mortgage. Kate is sure the wealthy elite of the neighborhood have life easy until her next door neighbor is found murdered, and Kate finds herself inadvertently pulled into the investigation.

The author of this book has done a great job of keeping the story fairly logical. Kate's emotions throughout the book are true to life even with the onset of a romance despite the fact she still has a husband. (Kate had realized with his leaving that her husband was not the only one in the marriage who had become disenchanted.)

This is the first book I have read by this author. I hope the next book of the series is done as well as this one.
