The story begins with police questioning Tash about a death she witnessed. It then goes back and is told in alternating timelines between Tash and Sophie. Tash is a journalist, and new mother of Finn, married to Tom, a doctor. Sophie is a nanny, who is found dead. Tash is asked to investigate Sophie's death, saying it was murder.
Tash is enamored with "the other mothers" group, who have nice homes and are wealthy, as she and Tom are dreaming of a home of their own. These moms suggest that Tash stay clear of another mom. Tash asks questions about Sophie, but they are evasive.
Now there is another death, and Tash has a dilemma about what she should say/do.
OK mystery, I didn't really care about any of the characters, as they weren't likeable!
