About the Book
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Nothing in this idyllic community is quite what it seems…
Those lucky enough to live in the elite lakefront community of Cloverhill Lakes are drawn to it for its safety and top-notch school district. The moms meet for coffee at the park while their kids play, they’re heavily involved in the PTA, and the summers are filled with chardonnay, brunch, sundresses, and backyard bonfires.
But everything changes when Regan Hoffman’s car explodes at the annual Labor Day party. The wrong person is killed, but it was meant for her. As the carefully crafted walls of her community begin to crumble, Regan tries to keep it together—something made infinitely harder when she sees her dead husband…alive.
When a Cloverhill Lakes resident suddenly goes missing, dark secrets begin to surface from underneath the idyllic veneer of their beautiful community—and the truth threatens to destroy them all as Regan finds herself in a fight for her life.
My Review
It’s Labor Day in the small community of Cloverhill Lakes. Everyone from adults to kids are having a great time at the annual party. When Regan Hoffman lends her car to a neighbor, it explodes leaving the community in shock. Regan is sure the bomb must have been for her. She’s already in a shaky state since the death of her husband. When she claims to have seen her dead husband very much alive, her neighbors are sure she is in the middle of a mental breakdown.
Strange things start happening in Cloverhill. Another neighbor is missing and everyone seems to have a secret to hide. Suddenly, danger is lurking all around them.
This is the second book by this author that I’ve read and have enjoyed. She knows how to grab the reader in right from the beginning. I couldn’t put this one down.
Each chapter is told from the POV of three different mothers in the community - Regan, Sasha and Andi. With each chapter, a new secret unfolds. The author kept me guessing through the whole book.
I always enjoy books that keep me reading late into the night. Unfortunately, it becomes impossible to fall asleep after it’s all over.
I will definitely be looking at this author’s backlist and her future releases. She’s a wonderful storyteller.
