Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy cosy mysteries with a darkly comedic edge and protagonists who are relatable rather than superhuman.
  • You like stories set in small towns where everyone knows everyone's business, and secrets are the real currency.
  • You appreciate humour threaded through genuine danger, where the stakes feel real despite the ridiculous premise.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want gritty, procedural crime fiction with forensic detail and morally grey characters.
  • You need your mysteries tightly plotted with no room for comedic tangents or lighter moments.
  • You're looking for literary depth over entertainment, or high-concept premises over character-driven plots.

About this book

Laura Berry, a city dweller now living as a suburban housewife in Boring, Indiana, struggles to adjust to her new life, which she moved to in order to fulfill her husband's dream. She questions whether she is depressed or simply bored. This changes when Laura discovers her neighbor dead on her sofa. Using her crisis-management instincts and natural suspicion, she begins investigating the death. When the killer turns their attention toward her, her investigation becomes a matter of survival. Determined to find out who killed her neighbor with poisoned pork rinds, Laura continues her search for answers despite pressure to stop. She is resolved to solve the mystery before she becomes another victim in her suburban community.
