BOOK TOUR

I discovered this author a year ago, and this book reinforces why she will always be an auto-buy for me!
If you thought it was just the widow lying, you would be…wrong! Everyone in this book seems to be hiding something. The irony is that Jacqueline moved on to this quiet cul-de-sac partly for the privacy, but then she snoops when her neighbor Anastasia moves in. You can practically see the curtains twitching, Jacqueline standing there with a cup of coffee, her eagle eyes on her neighbor’s property. There is one thing that Jacqueline is happy about, and that is that her daughter and Anastasia become fast friends. Much more than the moms, who are always trying to outdo each other. Anastasia seems to be undermining Jacqueline with her friends. And Jacqueline thinks her husband is a little too friendly with Anastasia.
The way Price weaves her tale, you can almost feel the cattiness of the exclusive community. The secrets are revealed with a true sense of the humanity behind them. I love how Price tells the story from both POVs, forcing us to take both sides as the story unwinds. But how can you know? Who can you trust? And that is what kept this reader glued to the pages.
Thank you to Love Books Tours for bringing me the best arcs of new-to-me authors!
