4.5⭐️
Family first!

Within Emerson Massachusetts, is an upscale neighborhood where parents constantly striving to “keep up with the Jones’� Kids studying hard to get into the best colleges. Just another day in paradise.

But that’s only a well-crafted façade. Now we’re about to be exposed to a big dose of reality.

I absolutely love neighborhood thrillers, don’t you? This one delivered everything and more of what I hope for when I pick one up! As the storyline unfolded I became more and more enthralled. And couldn't wait to make my way back to the audio whenever I had to step away.

When a young woman is found dead the police have questions for the group of teens who were last seen with her. The parents close ranks and will do whatever it takes to protect their own.

Who could have killed the young woman? Who has the most to lose? What family secrets are about to be exposed?

I had both the physical and audio versions of this book. Cassandra Campbell did an outstanding job with the narration.

A buddy read with Susanne that we both really enjoyed!

Thank you to Celadon Books and Macmillan Audio

Debra Terrific review, Kaceey! Glad you enjoyed it!


Jayne Great review, Kaceey. We usually agree on books ....but not this time. I listened to the audiobook only and felt that it really, really, really needed more than one narrator. Let's hope that both of our next books earn 5 stars!
