The apartment building at 1054 Mockingbird Lane is home to three very different women who are, nevertheless, friends of a sort. With their landlord owner recently dead, they are all a bit worried about the plans that her son has for the complex. Mix in some uncertainty and romantic problems in each of their lives, and soon the secrets and lies begin. Sylvia Webb, Riki McFarlan and Embry Taylor have plans to secure what every woman wants -- love and happiness. Each puts her goals into action and things are happening - until the body ends up at the bottom of the staircase that just might ruin it all. NO SPOILERS.
Domestic drama and contemporary women's lit that has similar elements to other stories you've read or that miniseries you binged. Hidden desires, revenge, frustration, and love affect each of the women but can they do what is necessary. Of the women, I did like the one who was actually the nastiest -- and she certainly had some clever moves so you can't help but cheer for her. I was struck by the notion of how ludicrous it was that there were so many young, single, attractive males out there around every corner. But, it's fiction. This provided a couple of hours of entertainment and most of it moved fast though some of it did drag as each of the women narrate their lives in alternating chapters.
