A Clean Kill — Leslie Glass

Manhattan's exclusive Upper East Side isn't a neighborhood that NYPD Detective April Woo and Precinct Captain Mike Sanchez associate with grisly crime scenes-- until Maddy Wilson, wife of a celebrity chef, is found slashed to death in their fashionable townhouse. The obvious suspect is her long-time nanny, a woman whose questionable behavior is matched only by her penchant for lies.


Then Maddy's best friend is murdered. The suspect in that case? The nanny. For April, the coincidence is too strange, the connection too neat, and the motives too tenuous. As the investigation unfolds, so do the victims' privileged secrets. And each one of them cuts like a knife.
