Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Chick Lit star Weiner's fourth novel, following In Her Shoes (2002), which has been adapted as a major motion picture starring Cameron Diaz, follows bored, upper-middle class, suburbanite mother of three Kate Klein as she becomes entangled in a local murder case. When Kate discovers the stabbed body of neighbor Kitty Cavanaugh, her pursuit of the killer gives Kate's mundane life a new sense of purpose, but her zeal puts pressure on her already wobbly marriage to Ben. She charges on, however, aided by best friend Janie, the chic, fearless daughter of a multi-millionaire. Kate soon uncovers Kitty's second life, centered on Kitty's search for her real father, entailing an investigation of several powerful men. Things are further complicated by the reappearance of Evan McKenna, Kate's unrequited love interest of the past seven years, who is a charming part-time private investigator, the exact opposite of Ben. Linked to the case through work he'd done for Kitty, Evan joins Kate on the mystery, and his seductive presence leaves her torn. While Weiner's characters are passionate, affecting and poignant, the murder mystery is less compelling. Too many false conclusions leave the reader tired by the time the real killer is revealed. The ending is also hard to believe. But Weiner's readers will root for Kate, whose humor and warmth amidst her struggles to transcend the roles of mom and wife make her a loveable, fully realized character.

"Weiner's got a brilliant eye for social stratum, character sketches, and rendering of suburban atmospherics."-- The Washington Post Book World

"A Peyton Place for the 21st century, only more modern, hip, and funny than the original."-- The Boston Globe

"Weiner's sharp wit, crisp writing, and wry observations are all abundant in Goodnight Nobody."-- Miami Herald

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read, April 19 2008

By	J.S. (Canada) - See all my reviews

My first Jennifer Weiner book - so nothing to compare it with. My personal choice is a story that doesnt keep going back in time, and then the present (like thisone does) - but it wasn't too hard to figure out.
I thoroughly enjoyed it - a good before bedtime read, for me. If you are looking for something "light" to read this Summer, this is it.... towards the end I couldn't put it down, wanting to know "Who Done It." Now searching for more of her books...

2.0 out of 5 stars OK, somewhat disappointing, Jan 8 2008

By	K. Harrison (BC Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mildly engaging, sometimes funny. I could take it or leave it. I enjoyed In her Shoes and Good in Bed as light reading chick-lit with good stories, real life drama and witty characters, so this one was a bit of a let down. I found the main character a bit annoying and the whole storyline void of truly likable or relatable characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great...., Sep 8 2006

By	Chelsea "Chels20" (Winnipeg, Canada) - See all my reviews

This was probably my least favorite of Jennifer Weiner's novels...not to say that it isn't worth reading. I found it to be interesting and kept me hooked but my overall enjoyment of it wasn't that great. I didn't walk away from it and say "wow that was a great book!" like I did for her other novels. I can't really pinpoint what it was...perhaps the whole murder-mystery theme seemed out of place....
Anyways, it's worth a shot but don't expect to be amazed...

3.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes fun- sometimes witty- but otherwise bland.
'Goodnight Nobody' is a surface level, warmed over chick lit book that fell a little flat for me. Jennifer Weiner definitely has comedic capabilities and appeal; however, I felt... Read more

This book is witty and intriguing, entertainment reading at its best. I love all of Ms. Weiner's books, but I think this is my favourite.
