Newly separated from her lawyer husband, Caroline James heads to the spa for a makeover and a massage, looking for a tonic to her battered pride. Instead she encounters Eleanor Hampton, the ex-wife of her spouse's law partner, a woman so bitter she makes Medea look like Anne of Green Gables. Watch your back, Eleanor tells her. You won't believe the stuff they've pulled. When Eleanor turns up suspiciously dead in her hot tub, Caroline opens the Pandora's Box of documents the vengeful socialite has sent as proof of the firm's unscrupulous divorce tactics. Between fighting her divorce proceedings, raising two children, and mending her broken heart, Caroline sleuths her way through upscale La Jolla, California, to unravel the truth. For the first time in a long time, she feels truly alive, if only she can stay that way
