Good Night Nobody!



Welcome to Upchurch Connecticut where the moms are snobs and your husband is barely there. One day you receive a phone call from one of the other moms (Kitty Cavanaugh).  What could she possibly want? 

Synopsis:

Kate Klein is a young mother of three who brought her children to this lovely house and makes a discovery.  Kate does the responsible thing and let the police know, but she can’t let it go of what she has discovered.  She starts to pursue leads as to who did it?  While her best friend Janie is game to help solve the case her husband is not.   What about a blast from the past?  What changes does this bring for Kate and her family?

My Thoughts:

I was very entertained by this classic Jennifer Weiner novel.  I listened to the audio version where Emily Skinner narrated.  I very much enjoyed her narration.   This novel was one of the more humorous mysteries I have ever read.

Who doesn’t identify with moving to a new town and not fitting in?  I had really hoped that the husband would come around.  I felt sorry for her with his ignorance.   I had thought the novel would last longer than what it did! I sort of hoped for a different ending.   

Rating:

4/5

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
