Varje sommar styr vännerna Jen och Lauren den lilla byn Salcombe på Fire Island med järnhand. Det är de som har makten på stranden och på tennisbanorna, och de vet precis hur de ska agera för att få sin vilja igenom. De står egentligen inte varandra så nära men deras män, Sam och Jason, har hängt ihop sedan de var barn.

Den här säsongen finns det som alltid massor att skvallra om, och sommaren startar precis lika stillsamt som vanligt. Men allt ställs på sin spets när en död kropp hittas nedanför en gångbrygga.

När pengar, familj och status betyder allt – och alla andra ständigt tycks ha mer av den varan – blir det svårt att behålla den moraliska kompassen. Och snart blir det tydligt att sommargästerna på Fire Island kanske inte är så trevliga som de vid en första anblick verkar vara. Ingen skulle kanske säga sig vara guds bästa barn, men är någon av dem kapabel att mörda?

A deliciously satisfying and suspenseful story about what happens when a clique of wealthy Manhattan private school moms start getting a taste of exactly what they deserve, instead of just what they can pay for.Meet Frost, Morgan, and Belle—a wealthy, gorgeous group of New York City moms, the queen bees of downtown Manhattan. Their children attend Atherton Seminary, the top private school in the city, and their social lives revolve around elaborate themed parties. On the first day of school, the arrival of a new mom and mysterious beauty from Miami named Sofia shakes up their world. When Sofia quickly integrates herself into their clique, inexplicably bad things start to happen to the women. Frost is the victim of a hit-and-run electric scooter incident. Nell's dream of launching a fashion line is thwarted when the clothing samples cause people to break out in a rash. Morgan's new sound bath spa is robbed at gunpoint by a moped-driving thief. Morgan declares it all a "negative event cluster," but the other women aren't so sure. Is someone at school out to get them? Another mom with a vendetta? Let’s not forget to mention the handsome headmaster, Dr. Broker, who every mom has a crush on (and one of them might be sleeping with). Spanning the course of one eventful Fall in New York, ending with a Surrealist New Year's Eve Ball—and a possible death, Mean Moms is part satire of upper crust mom-ing and part mystery, interrogating the line between friendship and jealousy, and getting at the question of: What would happen if the woman standing next to you at school pick up was actually a sociopath?

Varje sommar styr vännerna Jen och Lauren den lilla byn Salcombe på Fire Island med järnhand. Det är de som har makten på stranden och på tennisbanorna, och de vet precis hur de ska agera för att få sin vilja igenom. De står egentligen inte varandra så nära men deras män, Sam och Jason, har hängt ihop sedan de var barn.

Den här säsongen finns det som alltid massor att skvallra om, och sommaren startar precis lika stillsamt som vanligt. Men allt ställs på sin spets när en död kropp hittas nedanför en gångbrygga.

När pengar, familj och status betyder allt – och alla andra ständigt tycks ha mer av den varan – blir det svårt att behålla den moraliska kompassen. Och snart blir det tydligt att sommargästerna på Fire Island kanske inte är så trevliga som de vid en första anblick verkar vara. Ingen skulle kanske säga sig vara guds bästa barn, men är någon av dem kapabel att mörda?
