“Yikes… choose your friends and neighbors wisely! This book is just good fun.” Sheila

It’s wonderful when your closest friends are also in your neighborhood. For Gwen, Aimee, and Lisa, it is convenient to have coffee dates, neighborhood walks, play dates, and someone close to chat with – be it neighborhood gossip, or a close, confidential conversation about the ups and downs of marriage.
But the morning that Gwen’s husband is found murdered, and Aimee’s husband shortly thereafter turns up missing, cracks and underlying tension as well as a little finger-pointing come into play. As the three women navigate trying to be supportive of one another, with their own safe lives crumbling… the truth comes out in ways no one could have suspected.


This started out with the essence of Big Little Lies… which honestly I loved. Right away, the book takes hold with the first scandalous happening of Gwen’s husband being murdered (not a spoiler – its literally in the book description)… from there, with back stories of the three couples, and of course – what we always see on the surface, no matter how close of friends you are – is usually not the entire picture.

Actually, while at moments certainly far fetched – it was an enjoyable read to unravel this tangled web of a book and a delicious twist at the end which was certainly a – “Wait – what???” for me. Well-developed characters, I felt like I knew them, and while I would love to have a cup of coffee at their house… should probably pour my own. 😉

Grab a cocktail… set the theme… read the book. Good fun.
