Homemaker by Ruthie Knox, Annie Mare
3.0
adventurous dark emotional hopeful mysterious slow-paced

*this was a First Reads Selection for the MHP Book Group

This book felt slow and for the life of me I cannot figure out how Prairie was making money with her 725 Maple Project. But whatever. 

Prairie Nightingale is a "homemaker" who has created a job with employees of managing her household after her divorce. She has 2 daughters and lives with her ex-MIL. Her ex is very much in the picture and they are civil and even like each other. 

When one of the mom's in Prairie's former mom group goes missing, Prairie feels the need to look into it. With the help of the attractive FBI agent (Foster), Prairie starts talking to people and looking into Lisa's disappearance.  Almost like a Hallmark Mystery. I will admit to being invested and seeing how it was wrapped up, even though I knew who the killer was about halfway.
