They Did It With Love

They Did It With Love, by Kate Morgenroth

Publisher's Weekly calls Kate Morgenroth's novel, They Did It With Love, a cross between Agatha Christie and Desperate Housewives. With a detailed Greenwich, Connecticut setting, Morgenroth richly describes the characters and locales in this smart and layered mystery. Sophie Wright, a mystery bookstore owner in Manhattan, is happy with her husband and career in New York City. When her wealthy father dies, her husband Dean, pressures her to move to Greenwich, CT and makes sure she is invited to the exclusive neighborhood mystery book club. (Yes, it does sound a little like the Stepford movie). Sophie becomes involved in the complicated lives of the book club members and their husbands. When Julia, the least liked member of the group is found hanging from a tree in her front yard, Sophie uses her amateur sleuthing skills to prove that Julia didn't commit suicide. The more she finds out about the complicated lives of her neighbors, the more the plot thickens. PS... Prepare yourself for the surprise ending you never saw coming.
