Big Little Lies by Liane MoriartyRead about another entry on the list.
What could be more harmless and fun than a trivia night fundraiser at a local school? Unfortunately, when you mix secrets, jealousy, and betrayal, thecombination can be quite deadly. Moriarty’s novel, which was made into a hugely successful HBO miniseries, centers on three women, Madeline, Jane, and Celeste, and examines issues of domestic violence, parenting, friendships, and the little lies we all tell ourselves to get by, that can have deadly consequences.
Big Little Lies is among Ashley Audrain’s six great thrillers featuring manipulative mom-friends, Nicole Hackett's six top mysteries about motherhood & crime, Janice Hallett's five notable gripping mysteries set in small towns, Tracy Dobmeier and Wendy Katzman's six riveting titles of ultra-competitive parents, Pamela Crane's five novels featuring parenting gone wild, Michelle Frances's eight top workplace thrillers, and Jeff Somers's ten novels that teach you something about marriage.
