Synopsis:
This summer, meet your neighbors.
The residents of the exclusive cul-de-sac on Alton Road are entangled in a web of secrets and scandal utterly unknown to the outside world, and even to each other.
On the night of the annual Summer block party, there has been a murder.
But, who did it and why takes readers back one year earlier, as rivalries and betrayals unfold—discovering that the real danger lies within their own block and nothing—and no one—is ever as it seems.
Review:
This one was just pure fun, if you like gossipy neighborhood domestic suspense you’ll enjoy this I bet. There’s a lot going on here as it basically follows every resident on Alton Road so there’s quite a few characters to keep track of but they intertwine in a scandalous and satisfying way. It alternates between present day and then a year prior leading up to the night of the murder and the slow unraveling of so many people with so many secrets was juicy and fun. This is the perfect poolside summer read, lots of drama, betrayal and it doesn’t require a lot of brain power which is basically my summer mood.
Overall rating: 4/5
Thanks to the publisher for my review copy.
