Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty FIC Mor

I loved this book!  At the beginning you know someone is dead and people are being interviewed by the police.  You know that it happened at a school function known as Trivia Night which was a fundraiser.   The police know that people are not being totally honest with them.

Little by little you get to know the people who were there that night.  Madeline is a funny woman with a killer sarcastic edge to her.  Her ex-husband Nathan left her with a baby 14 years ago.  Even though Madeline is married to Ed, a wonderful guy, things are a bit weird.  Nathan and his new wife Bonnie have moved back to town - and they have a child in kindergarten which happens to be the same grade as Ed and Madeline's child.

 Celeste is the beautiful one in the group.  Always put together.  She is married to Perry and they have lots of money and twin boys.  What goes on behind closed doors is shocking.

Jane is the new woman on the block.  She is a single mother and sort of an outcast until Madeline befriends her.  When her son, Ziggy, is accused of bullying (and this is in kindergarten!) her life begins to spiral down and she thinks she will have to leave town.

Very entertaining and keeps you guessing as to the victim's identify and of course the killer. I think most people will love this book.
