Bestselling author Julia Spiro's Such a Good Mom is a brilliant standalone mystery that's the perfect beach read. In the heat of summer, a murder on Martha's Vineyard rocks one new mom to the core, leaving her to search for answers.
With a healthy newborn baby, a devoted husband, a successful career, and a busy life on Marthaโs Vineyard, Brynn Nelson should be the happiest sheโs ever been. But Brynn is struggling. Her husband, Ross, grows more distant by the day, and the challenges and exhaustion of postpartum make Brynn feel like sheโs slowly losing pieces of herself to motherhood. Pieces that she might never get back.
But itโs summer on the Vineyard, a beacon for wealthy visitors, and a place so beautiful that it seems immune to tragedy and crime. Except for locals, like Brynn, who know all too well that tragedy can strike at any point. And this time, it hits close to home when a friend of the family is found washed ashore. Dead. And Brynnโs already hectic life is turned upside down when Ross is arrested for the crime.
Left reeling with more questions than answers, Brynnโs only path forward is to find out who really killed Cecelia Buckley, even if it means it was her husband. Sheโs not sure who sheโs able to trust anymore. And with the dizzying, endless cycle of sleepless nights, diapers, and bottles, Brynnโs not even sure she can trust herself. Sheโs not sure of anything anymore, but she wonโt stop until she finds the truth.
