Harper-Collins sent me a early galley and an audiobook of this new title and I really really enjoyed it! It was an explosive thriller that kept me reading (or listening!) and I couldn’t put it down. At times, I would think “how is this all going to come together??” but the end tied it all together and was very satisfying. Thank you for my copy and for the audio (always good for the 2+ hours I drive a day!!).

Here’s the scoop:

From the two-time Edgar Award–nominated author of ON A QUIET STREET and THE VACANCY IN ROOM 10…

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES meets FINLAY DONOVAN in this darkly humorous thriller about three women’s lives colliding around an explosive murder, a bizarre cover-up, and a riveting search for the truth in a multi-cast audiobook narrated by Brittany Pressley, Rebecca Lowman, and Karissa Vacker!

“Explosive, addictive, and impossible to put down.”—Noelle Ihli, bestselling author of Such Quiet Girls

Those lucky enough to live in the elite lakefront community of Cloverhill Lakes are drawn to it for its safety and top-notch school district. The moms meet for coffee at the park while their kids play, they’re heavily involved in the PTA, and the summers are filled with chardonnay, brunch, sundresses, and backyard bonfires.

But everything changes when Regan Hoffman’s car explodes at the annual Labor Day party. The wrong person is killed, but it was meant for her. As the carefully crafted walls of her community begin to crumble, Regan tries to keep it together—something made infinitely harder when she sees her dead husband…alive.

When a Cloverhill Lakes resident suddenly goes missing, dark secrets begin to surface from underneath the idyllic veneer of their beautiful community—and the truth threatens to destroy them all as Regan finds herself in a fight for her life.

For readers who love:

• Small lakeside community vibes
• Twists that will leave you breathless
• Dark humor and wild antics
• Dramatic domestic suspense
• Multiple POVs
• Desperate Housewives meets Finlay Donovan
