But beneath the surface Manon is struggling with the day-to-day realities of what she assumed would be domestic bliss: fights about whose turn it is to clean the kitchen the bewildering fatigue of having a young child in her forties and the fact that she is going to couple's counseling alone because her husband feels it would just be her complaining.But when Manon is on a walk with her two-year-old son in a peaceful suburban neighborhood and discovers the body of a Lithuanian immigrant hanging from a tree with a mysterious note attached she knows her life is about to change. Suddenly she is back on the job full-force trying to solve the suicide--or is it a murder--in what may be the most dangerous and demanding case of her life.(less)
