About the book
New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner's latest book follows the journey of a young mother who moves to a picturesque town in Connecticut and uncovers its hidden secrets.
For Kate Klein, a mother of three by accident, suburban life has been full of unexpected challenges. Her husband is rarely home, the other moms at the playground ignore her, and her days are consumed with carpooling and endless rounds of Candy Land. Her nights are filled with self-induced pleasure.
When a fellow mother is murdered, Kate becomes intrigued by the unsolved mystery in her seemingly perfect town. Despite warnings from her husband and the police chief to leave crime-solving to the professionals, Kate can't resist digging deeper.
With the help of her witty best friend Janie Segal and her ex-flame Evan McKenna, Kate embarks on an unofficial investigation during nursery school hours, uncovering the secrets hidden behind Upchurch's facade of suburban bliss.
As Kate delves into the murdered woman's past, she learns about the sacrifices all women make as they navigate through various roles and expectations in society.
Goodnight Nobody is a gripping and humorous mystery that delves into the complexities of modern womanhood, with a memorable narrator and a compelling storyline that will keep readers hooked until the very end.
