Renée Shafransky, Tips for Living

Nora used to be married to a big name artist, but that fell apart a few years before this book begins: Hugh got another woman pregnant and left Nora, and now he's back to make her life miserable again.
He's moved with his new family to the small town where Nora's been piecing her life back together. Worse yet, the other woman has joined Nora's yoga class. Even worse, the irritating couple winds up getting themselves murdered on a night when Nora can't exactly account for her whereabouts. You see the problem.
I really enjoyed this book. The main characters are likable. The story holds together very well. And I was totally hooked on the mystery and wondering who done it until the big reveal came.
If I had to criticize something about this book, I'd say that it takes too long to wind down once the murderer is revealed. I didn't exactly dislike spending that extra time with the protagonist, but the book was a little slow after that.
