The Woman Next Door
The woman next door is young, attractive, widowed, and pregnant.  Since the neighboring ladies know that she keeps to herself and  doesn't receive visitors, they naturally wonder: "Could my  husband be the father?" Delinsky's latest novel is like a murder  mystery, with clues and even red herrings thrown in along the  way, but Delinsky surprises the reader in the end. Her plot  concerns the personal problems of the three close couples who  live on the widow's cul-de-sac, focusing mainly on Amanda and  Graham. Every detail of their own baby quest is noted, including  fertility treatments and the dissension with Graham's  baby-demanding family. Amanda's job as a school counselor is  highlighted, especially when a teenager commits suicide at  school. Will Amanda have a baby of her own? And will the father  of her neighbor's baby make himself known? Popular author  Delinsky (The Vineyard) has written another book that will  appeal to readers of traditional women's fiction.- Carol J.
