This was an interesting one! I got big ‘desperate housewives’ vibes which is honestly such an intriguing concept - The wealthy, “perfect” neighborhood is not quite what it seems. I ultimately really enjoyed this storyline and I was thoroughly shocked for so many of the outcomes we end up with. The thing that bothered me the most is the point of view switch. going back and forth from a primarily third person perspective to first person chapters was just not my favorite. It was just a lot of bouncing around that I didn’t really love trying to keep up with. What I did like about it though was getting Lettie’s side of the story. Alex is obviously our main character so getting her daughter’s perspective added an additional side to all the mysteries. There’s a lot of twists and turns but seeing them come together was really cool. Overall, a fun read!
A neighborhood full of secrets can only lead to trouble. When one resident turns up dead, we are taken through the lives of the residents to learn what lead up to the death. Told from multiple viewpoints, we are given a view into 2 generations of residents and their drama. This book read like a movie, with building suspense, strong characters and a satisfying resolution!
