Misconduct

More about the book

Simone’s obsession with her former lover is dangerously out of control, and the approach of her 40th birthday compels her to wreak havoc in his new life. A house-sitting opportunity at a remote beach provides a welcome escape. With only the responsibilities of somebody else’s perpetually cheerful dog, Simone values her isolation; her elderly neighbors, however, have different ideas and begin to pull her into their eccentric lives. Is it possible she’s gotten away with it, or will the things she’s done come back to haunt her? This moving novel explores the possibility of reinvention, the bittersweet taste of revenge, and a woman’s search for friendship and love.
