The Other Mothers (Detective Jo Fournier #4) by M. M. Chouinard

 A series of shocking deaths at Briar Ridge Elementary School devastates the community. Detective Jo Fournier and her partner, Detective Bob Arnett, of the Oakhurst County State Police Detective Unit are called in and begin an intense investigation that involves the scrutiny of the teachers, staff, administration, and parents at the school. A close knit group of mothers, known as "The Witches of Briar Ridge", include Karen Phelps, Gia Marchand, and Molly Hayes. These women seem to be involved somehow in what is happening but there is so much going on that it's hard to tell what secrets they are hiding and why. NO SPOILERS.

Wow, this was very intense and I could not put it down (even though I had half an ear to the AFC Championship Football Game). It was definitely one of the better series reads I've devoured so far this year, and I can't wait for the next installment having read all the previous books as well. Suffice to say that, although I had some suspicions, this took a serious turn that was extremely chilling.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this e-book ARC to read, review, and recommend. Be sure to read the series from the beginning.

 

This is the 4th book in a series that should be read, in order, from the beginning.
