Someone is killing the affluent, unbearably snobby mothers of private school preschoolers. One mom, still battling post-postpartum depression determines to solve the case. A fun tour through the maddening world of upper crust private nursery schools.
Karen Bergreen's second book is as much fun as her first. I look forward to her next release!

Perfect Is Overrated is a great novel. The main character, Katie, is smart, witty and very real. The book starts right after the murder of a fellow elite pre-school mother. She had spent most of the past three years in a deep post-partum depression and as a former assistant District Attorney, the murder has gotten her up and running. Great plot for the murder, I honestly did not see the killer coming until about two pager before Katie revealed the killer. However the ending for Katie, I called from chapter two.

Since I was looking for a light read, I found the perfect book. I would definitely read other books by Bergreen. ( )

This book wasn't perfect or overrated (groan). I loved the author's Following Polly, and this wasn't as good, but still OK (I gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars, which for me is decent). Kate is a former prosecutor now raising a child. Her marriage to an NYC cop has fallen apart, but he still lives in the same building. This comes in handy when moms in her daughter's posh preschool start dropping like flies. ( )

Story kept me entertained. I would read another book by the author.

I loved this book! The main character, Kate, is so real. She is flawed, raw and worth caring about. Her story is that of many mothers and women and tackles some heavy topics without being too heavy. It is about motherhood at its best and worst, it is about marriage with its highs and lows and it is about maneuvering relationships of all forms. I could not believe how much of Kate's experiences, minus the murders, are similar to mine. I loved the humor, depth and storytelling in this novel. It has mystery, great characters and an ending I loved. I highly recommend this book and rate it 4.5 stars! ( )
