I keep reading this series about SAHM Juliet Applebaum, a former public defender who gets embroiled in mysteries. In book four, she is a partner in a private investigation firm started by a former co-worker and she is asked to look into the murder of the wife of a cult leader. The mystery snakes back to involve one of Juliet's close friends. Juliet's struggle to balance work and kids is understandable but I wish the writer did less telling and more showing. Still, the books are entertaining.

Interesting story, covered some interesting topics (repressed memories, Hollywood) but it could have been about 50 pages shorter and been an even better book.
