Description
Secrets lurk under the smooth surface of a wealthy Connecticut neighborhood, until a murder reveals all Sofie and her husband have left Manhattan in search of a more tranquil life in the suburbs. But when a member of Sofie's new neighborhood book club turns up dead, things get messy. She discovers that everybody has something to hide, including her own husband. Her neighbor Priscilla has been married to Gordon for fifteen years, but the love left their marriage a long time ago. Susan is Priscilla's biggest supporter until she has to choose between loyalty to her friend and telling the truth. Ashley is eager to fit in, but her youth and status as a second wife keep her on the outside. She may know more than they think she does, though. Julia seems to have it all: the perfect house, job and husband. But her untimely death has people questioning how perfect her life really was. Through this swamp of suburban secrets, Sofie must wade to find the truth behind Julia's murder and the state of her own marriage. They Did It with Love is a delightful, twisty, and twisted exploration of the things we'll do for love.

Reviews
"Elegantly written, with both sharp psychological portraits and an intriguing mystery that keeps you turning pages without feeling manipulated. Subtle and satisfying, They Did It with Love belongs with the best of the genre."--Carol Feliciano, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer "[A] delightfully perverse whodunit... Morgenroth's greatest accomplishment is the ease with which she describes a certain kind of ennui and aimlessness--and the kinds of fatal betrayals that can lurk beneath all that suburban gloss."--Amy Alexander, The Washington Post "Agatha Christie meets The Stepford Wives in this rolling read."--Marie Claire
"Agatha Christie meets Desperate Housewives in Morgenroth's smashing, Stepfordesque mystery... The character development and local color are so strong that this would be a hit even without the dazzling surprise ending."--Publishers Weekly
