Melville Heights is Wisteria Lane on crack; everyone spends more time and energy checking out the comings and goings of their neighbors than they do attending to their own disordered lives. And it's awesome!!
The book opens with the death of...someone. We don't know who but we know a red tassel was left behind and that it will play heavily later on.
The story is told from multiple POV's, some likable, some slappable, all interesting and well-written. The central questions revolve around Tom Fitzwilliam. Who is he, saint or sinner? What was he getting up to, and why does it matter?
The story unfolds in such a way that as a reader you can play sleuth. The clues are doled out and there's enough info to put it together if you're good at this kind of thing. I didn't, which I LOVED! The police transcripts were a very fun touch.
