Publisher Description
From the "master of suburban scandal" (Samantha M. Bailey) and author of You Deserve to Know, soon to be a Hulu television series, comes a scandalous twisty thriller about obsession, betrayal, and the price of perfection
Just outside Washington, DC, sits Eastbrook, Bethesda—a leafy suburb with top schools, pristine landscapes, and perfect neighbors. It’s not the kind of place where nannies are killed during robberies gone wrong. And in this picture-perfect neighborhood, someone is desperate to plaster over the cracks in that façade.
A year after the unsolved neighborhood murder, Caren, nearing fifty and staring down an empty nest, has one too many drinks at a graduation party and blacks out on her way home. At least, that’s what everyone says happened. Caren suspects she was drugged by someone. But who?
When Caren teams up with a new neighbor who is obsessed with figuring out who murdered his best friend, they start to uncover what Eastbrook has tried to forget. But in a place where appearances are everything, their search for the truth means not only shattering carefully curated perfection — but putting themselves squarely in the crosshairs of a killer.
Customer Reviews
One zany neighborhood
Interestingly flawed characters inhabit a rich neighborhood near DC and keep the place hoping. No one is to be trusted, or respected. It makes for a not boring, easy read by the pool. Once again, it is easy when you don’t like the characters because there is no investment of the heart. And these are all unlikable characters.
