    Secret Lives
    This book didn't quite capture my attention like I had hoped. It was basically a whodunnit, solved by three ex-wives of murderers. I think I wanted it to be more serious; there was a lot of fluff and mindless chatter for most of the book. The big ending was not a surprise although, the last 10-15 of the book was definitely the best. Characters were difficult to keep up with between the chapters and none particularly likable. So-so at best.
