I'd heard the author was funny, but I couldn't finish this book. Maybe it's all tongue in cheek, but I don't know who wants to be in the head of the protagonist. She judges appearances constantly, including her own. At one point she stays over at her college-aged son's friend's house and is upset that he doesn't find her attractive. Bleh.

OK so that was terrible. First of all i must say that i only listen to this audiobook because it was read by Christine Baranski, which is also the only reason why it has 2 stars. Her reading like always was really enjoyable however the book itself especially the storyline was nothing new and u could see the plot coming from miles. Also the main character was really annoying and it happened quite often that i found myself screaming why or just simple answers while listening to it.
So overall 2 stars.

This is a really great read as a beach book. I could not put it down and I stayed up all night finishing it. It’s about a woman whose husband leaves her after 25 years and then turns up murdered in her kitchen at 3 a.m. and in her shock she tries to pull the knife out and gets her fingerprints all over it, so of course they think she did it and she ends up running away just before the police are about to arrest her to try and figure out who the murderer is.
