From the cocreator of Deadpool and author of Suburban Dicks comes a diabolically funny murder mystery that features two incredibly likable—and unlikely—sleuths investigating a murder that reveals the dark underbelly of suburban marriage. After suburban mother of five and former FBI profiler Andie Stern solved a mysterious murder—and unraveled a decades old conspiracy—in her New Jersey town, both her husband and the West Windsor police hope that she will set aside crime-fighting and go back to carpools, changing diapers, and lunches with her group of mom-friends, who she secretly calls The Cellulitists. But Andie can't help but get involved after the husband of Queen Bee Cellulitist Molly Goode is found dead—and signs point to Molly's involvement. As Andie begins to dig into the case, she risks more than just the clique's wrath—and what she discovers might hit shockingly close to home. Meanwhile, journalist Kenny Lee is enjoying his rehabilitated image after his work with Andie. But he too is drawn back into the thicket of suburban scandals in West Windsor, which in this involve secrets, affairs, and a huge sum of money. Andie and Kenny once again are thrust into a mystery that is in turns terrifying and titillating—and altogether original.
