In a fast-paced novel reminiscent of Big Little Lies, a single mom goes undercover to uncover disturbing secrets within her local suburban parent-school association, including embezzlement, bribery, adultery, and murder. Paige Lancaster, a single mother and prodigal daughter, returns to her Connecticut hometown after a prestigious career writing for a top detective series in Los Angeles. Following a traumatic incident back in Hollywood, she finds herself broke and living with her widowed mother and eight-year-old daughter, Izzy. While trying to secure a new writing job, Paige encounters the influential members of Izzy’s school’s Parent Booster Association, led by the stunning Ainsley Anderson, married to Paige’s former high school boyfriend, John. At the Parents and Pinot fundraiser at Ainsley and John’s lavish mansion, Paige inadvertently finds herself in a compromising situation with John, destroys a bathroom, overhears a suspicious conversation, and discovers her missing purse. The night takes a dark turn when Ainsley is found dead at the bottom of her driveway. With her detective writing background, Paige believes she can handle some undercover sleuthing, but she questions whether John could be involved in the murder or if another PBA member has sinister motives. Most importantly, Paige wonders if she can regain control of her life.
