Book description
"Addictive, suspenseful and masterfully written...will delight fans of Big Little Lies." --Michele CampbellHow well do you really know your neighbors?With its sprawling yards and excellent schools, Cottonwood Estates is the perfect place to raise children. The Cottonwood Book Club serves as the subdivision's eyes and ears, meeting once a month for discussion, gossip, and cocktails. If their selections trend toward twisty thrillers and salacious murder mysteries, it's only because the members feel secure that such evil has no place in their own cul-de-sacs.Or does it?What happened to Lena's family fifteen years ago was a tragic accident, and she will never admit otherwise. Devoted wife and mother Annie refuses to acknowledge--even to herself--the weight of a past shame. And new resident Jen wants friends, but as always, worry about her troubled son gets in the way.When late-night acts of vandalism target the women of the book club in increasingly violent and personal ways, they will be forced to decide how far to go to keep their secrets. At least they all agree on what's most important: protecting their children at any cost--even if it means someone has to die.L. Alison Heller, whose work has been praised by Liane Moriarty as "warm, witty...refreshingly true to life," explores the ultimate sacrifices of parenting in The Neighbor's Secret, a propulsive and juicy novel filled with gripping twists and instantly recognizable characters.
Since they found the body, I've been replaying what I saw. What happened between them, out where no one could hear? I think it was murder. In Cottonwood Estates, a quaint suburb full of PTA parents and manicured lawns, the Best Book Club Group in the World gathers once a month over cockails, gossip, and their latest read. As they debate endings and characters, each of them has her own secret story. Lena has hardly left her house in decades after a tragedy befell her family, but she's finally joining the group. Her neighbor Annie has a past, and she knows something about what happened to Lena, something she can never share. New resident Jen deeply wants to make some friends, but she's hiding a secret about her son. And no matter what, they'll keep their children safe - even if to protect them, someone has to die. L. Alison Heller, whose work has been praised by Liane Moriatry as "warm, witty...refreshingly true to life," ventures into suspenseful territory with The Neighbor's Secret, a novel of books, secrets, and women who will remind you of your own book club.
