520    "A twisty, domestic suspense debut about a clique of 
       mothers that shatters when one of their own is murdered, 
       bringing chaos to their curated idyll. She was the perfect
       wife, with the perfect life. You would kill to have it... 
       Ciara Murphy has it all - a loving husband, well-behaved 
       children, and a beautiful home. Her circle of friends in 
       their small Irish village go to her for tips about 
       mothering, style, and influencer success - a picture 
       perfect life is easy money on Instagram. But behind the 
       filters, reality is less polished. Enter Mishti Gupta: 
       Ciara's best friend. Ciara welcomed Mishti into her inner 
       circle for being... unlike the other mothers in the group.
       But discontent in a marriage arranged for her through her 
       parents back in Calcutta, Mishti now raises her young 
       daughter in a country that is too cold among the children 
       of her new friends who look nothing like her. Mishti just 
       wants what Ciara has - the ease with which she moves 
       through the world - and in that sense, she might be 
       exactly like the other mothers. And there's earth mother 
       Lauren Doyle, born, bred, and the butt of jokes in their 
       village. With her disheveled partner and children who run 
       naked in the yard, they're now mostly a happy lot, and 
       unsurprisingly ostracized for being the singular 
       dysfunction to Ciara's immaculate world. When Lauren finds
       an unlikely ally in Mishti, she decides that her days of 
       ridicule are over. Then Ciara is found murdered, a bloody,
       mangled thing against the pristine backdrop of her own 
       home, and the house of cards she'd worked so hard to build
       comes crumbling down. Everyone looks like they have 
       something to gain from Ciara's death, but if you don't 
       want the blame, it's the perfect time to air your enemies'
       dirty laundry. In this dazzling debut novel, Bose 
       revolutionizes age-old ideas of love and deceit. What 
       ensues is the delicious unspooling of a group of women 
       desperate to preserve themselves"--|cProvided by
