There’s something strange in this neighborhood.
Secrets and lies in every home on the street. What are they all doing behind closed doors and who fired the gunshot?
This psychological thriller features the viewpoints of many of the homeowners as they relate things that are going on in their households. Freddie and Heidi just moved into Huntington Grove for his new job and Heidi is at loose ends. Why has her husband suddenly started hiding things from her and locking his office door? Others on the street also have some things they don’t want everyone to know. Like Willow. She and her daughter, Isabella, argue a lot and husband isn’t hanging around home much. Then there is the widower Dylan and his daughter, Orla, whose wife was murdered 3 years ago. He’s still very upset and angry that the killer has never been arrested. Allison, the neighborhood party organizer is another weird one — her husband works overseas but the house isn’t quiet. It all comes out on the night of the block party.
This was fast and fun and I enjoyed the writing style with the shifting points of view and the insertion of the police interviews. The characters were complex and interesting. Even if the coincidences and conclusion were a bit far fetched, it was still entertaining trying to figure it out.
I was able to listen to the audiobook while also following along in the e-book ARC, both provided by the publishers. The two narrators did an excellent job of voicing all the different characters and used an appropriate amount of dramatic flair as needed to really enhance my reading experience.
This is a standalone and is not part of any series.
Genre - psychological drama, family dysfunction, secrets and lies
