The Gordonston Ladies Dog Walking Club by Duncan Whitehead

 I really enjoyed The Gordonston Ladies Dog Walking Club by Duncan Whitehead...a perfect summer read.  I found it humorous and the story...I kinda expected the ending, but was still surprised the way it ended. It is contrived and  not great (or even good!) literature but it kept me  coming back for more and I look forward to a sequel.

FROM THE BLURB:
Something is not quite right in the leafy Savannah neighborhood of Gordonston.  As the friends and fellow members of her afternoon cocktail club gather to mourn the death and lament the life of their neighbor, Thelma Miller, not all is what it seems. When old friends vie for the attention of widower, alderman and mayoral candidate Elliott, jealousies surface and friendships are strained. An old woman with a dark secret and an infamous uncle plots her revenge for a perceived wrong done over thirty years before, a once successful children's writer with his own secret is haunted by memories of the past and aspiring model Kelly Hudd has just won the trip of a lifetime. 
Soon secrets are revealed  and an intertwined web of deceits and lies surfaces in the middle class neighborhood where a killer lurks, but is anyone really who they seem to be?
