Such a Good Mom is one of my top ARC reads of 2024. It was my first book by Julia Spiro and it will not be my last! I loved everything about this fast paced mystery set on Martha's Vineyard with a main character who is a very new mom. 

Such a Good Mom is told by Brynn, who is struggling with everything about parenting a newborn. Her husband Ross seems to be pulling away, her mother in law is critical of her parenting, and she feels like she is losing herself completely. Sound familiar? Goodness, yes. (Except the MIL part, mine is a gem.) 

So with all of this on her plate, Brynn is shocked by the news of a young woman on the island going missing and her husband is the key suspect. The so much evidence against him, Brynn is rattled but determined to find answers... whatever they may be. Thus she embarks on a journey to learn more about her in laws and the year rounders of the island she calls home. 

If you love a quick mystery, stellar exploration of matresence (the many changes that result from becoming a mother), and have vs. have not vacation destination settings, this one delivers. Such a Good Mom was the very well executed merger of so many things I love in books and I hope you'll love it as well!
