Wow! Got me on the first page and I couldn't put it down. The story of 5 women going through life all based around a book club. I cried, I laughed and I connected in some way with each of these women.

Kept me guessing in the end. From the back cover:

"Summer is supposed to e the season of homicides, not suicides. Unfortunately some St. Louis lawyers have other ideas. A surprising number are arriving at Grace Hospital's emergency room, dead by their own hands. And while the trend inspires great jokes among the staff, the rising body count is no laughing matter for trauma nurse and death investigator Molly Burke

As Molly finds out what links the victims beyond their bar association, she learns the hard way that some very powerful people want to keep her quiet, making her more determined and more paranoid. In the meantime, she has to deal with the betrayal of friends and seek out the assistance of enemies--and uncover the truth before the next D.O.A. has her name on its toe tag."

Not my favorite "chick-lit". It started kind of slow, but I was determined to finish it. There were some interesting weight loss tips in the epilogue though.

I thought I would never get through this book. It bored me to tears. Chick Lit isn't my typical genre and dit was recommended by a friend. Sorry I took her recommendation...
Others my like it, it just wasn't my cup of tea.

I didn't enjoy this book near as much as some of Lorna Landvik's other titles. Written in 5 voices (the 5 main characters), which I think was too much because their points of view weren't real clear to me. With every page turn, I kept waiting for the story to get better...it never happened.
