Synopsis: On the surface, Emerson, Massachusetts, is just like any other affluent New England suburb. But when a young woman is found dead in the nicest part of town, the powerful neighbors close ranks to keep their families safe. In this searing novel, Eden Perry’s death kicks off an investigation into the three teenagers who were partying with her that night, each a suspect. Hannah, a sweet girl with an unstable history. Jack, the popular kid with a mean streak. Christopher, an outsider desperate to fit in. Their parents, each with motivations of their own, only complicate the picture: they will do anything to protect their children, even at the others’ expense.
Review: This is the perfect domestic suspense book if you’re a fan of plots that involve the entire community. The mystery of who killed the victim was twisty and surprising. I liked the way the author showed that kids are capable of doing things we’d never imagine under peer pressure. I especially liked Hannah’s stepmother because she was just so fun to hate! This one is definitely a slow burn, but I enjoyed it overall.
