I have to admit I have done very little reading lately. I picked up several books and ended up putting them down halfway through. Between the holidays and battling a cold, my mind seemed better suited to watching DVDs. So, my hopes weren't high when I picked up They Did It With Love by Kate Morgenroth. A few hours later, however, I was still on the couch reading away when I should have been making dinner. In wealthy Greenwich, Connecticut one of the members of a mystery book club is murdered. During the time leading up to the crime and the subsequent investigation, Morgenroth paints a picture of life in the suburbs and the social hierarchy that exists there. I found the characters interesting and complex, and they show that you never really know what goes on behind closed doors. The mystery is well laid out and has a fantastic twist at the end. I'm not going to claim this is great literature. However, it was great fun, and I had a really hard time putting it down. Dinner was leftovers that night. I would highly recommend this for an entertaining, escapist read. ~Torrie
