Mapleton Falls is a perfect town where perfect families lead perfect lives. At least, that's what Jenny Sampson, a nice, Jewish girl from Long Island, thinks when she first moves in. But when her next-door-neighbor, Amanda Brennan, a sweet, caring, doctor's wife and mother of two, turns up dead in the entryway of her McMansion, Jenny finds herself muddled in the middle of a murder. Assistant DA, Bree Lang, a privileged, gay, shiksa from the Main Line, is one of Jenny's best friends. Lucky for Bree, Jenny's got the inside scoop on a host of potential suspects. Like Stone Brennan, Amanda's anesthesiologist husband, who knocks people out for a living and carves statues out of tree trunks with chainsaws for a hobby; or the neighborhood gals Nikki, a raven-haired beauty with uncanny cooking skills, and DeeDee, a mother of two sets of twins, who don't realize they share the same sordid secret. Then there's Sean Roberts, a member of St. Augustine's where Amanda's kids go to school. Sean's got a crush on Amanda, which his wife's not too pleased about. And, of course, there's Father Groark, the priest at St. Augustine's. If only Amanda hadn't uncovered his secrets and written about them in her journal.Will Jenny and Bree be able to uncover the killer before he/she strikes again? Or will Mapleton Falls forever be marred by a murderer in their midst?
