Murder Plays House by Ayelet Waldman

In ten words or less: Finding a body in the house doesn't deter Juliet's interest.

Review: Former public defender Juliet Applebaum is pregnant with her third child. Husband Peter works at home as a screenwriter and their house is getting just a bit too snug for their growing family. Juliet calls up her friend Kat, a Realtor, and makes an appointment to go house hunting.
The houses are disappointing, but Kat takes Juliet to a house that isn't quite on the market yet. It's probably out of my price range, thinks, Juliet, but I love the house. That is, until they discover the naked body of a skeletally thin unsuccessful actress in the bathtub.
Hoping that the owner will let her make an offer on the house, Juliet investigates the murder. She feels like a hugely pregnant whale, next to the actresses who are painfully yet have enormous breast implants.

Why bother? The attitudes of body images of girls and young women are central to the mystery. Juliet is horrified that her six year old daughter wants to diet, but all around her are anorexic women trying for careers in the entertainment industry. Waldman ties the body image issues together with the mystery in seamless fashion.
