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!

Following Polly by Karen Bergreen

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.

I really enjoyed this book. I was a little uncomfortable with her following (stalking!) at first. After awhile I found it funny and that I could even relate with her. Alice Teakle is a "Stephanie Plum" character - funny, witty, and a bit bumbling but always comes out ahead. The story was entertaining, not predictable, and believable.

Perfect Is Overrated by Karen Bergreen

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.… (more)

Perfect Is Overrated by Karen 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.
