In this twisty tale of domestic suspense, four neighbors become the prime suspects in a murder investigation that reveals the sinister underside of their picture-perfect community—from the bestselling author of The Guilty Husband.

Hawthorne Lane is the perfect place to live. Its tree-lined street and stately homes are the envy of the town. Every Halloween the residents of Hawthorne Lane come together to host their famous Fall Festival. But this year, someone won’t survive the night.

As a murder investigation ensues, it quickly becomes clear there’s more going on behind closed doors on Hawthorne Lane than meets the eye. And four women, each with secrets worth killing for, find themselves at the center of it all.

There’s Georgina, the perfectionist and reigning Queen Bee, who pays a high price for her elevated status. There’s Audrey, the bold and beautiful neighbor with the high-flying corporate career, but whose marriage is on the rocks. There’s Libby, the working mother who is struggling to come to terms with her recent divorce while parenting her teenage son. And finally, Hannah—the newcomer with a mysterious past that’s returning with a vengeance.

As the clock ticks down to Halloween, their lives will cross in the most unexpected ways. And soon only one question remains: Who will pay the ultimate price for the lies they all tried so hard to bury?

Great twist

The storyline was great she it had a great twist I really enjoyed listening to this book

Great read!

If you liked Desperate Housewives this book is for you! Love the narrator too she is one of my favorites.

Outstanding Narration and Story

Absolutely loved this book! Each chapter narrated by a different character, and each character so thoughtfully crafted by the author. If you liked the drama combined with mystery of Desperate Housewives or Big Little Lies, this book is for you! The plot unravels slowly, character by character, and it’s up to the reader to start piecing things together. The narration is absolutely masterful and makes listening to the book a delight. Highly recommend.

Finished in two days!

I loved this book. If you liked big little lies you will love this. I highly recommend.

A lot of character characters

The first thing I have to say is that January LaVoy is absolutely killing it in this audiobook. The sheer number of voices and roles she takes on is mind-blowing — it almost doesn’t seem possible that one person could pull that off, but she does, and flawlessly. Major kudos to her. 👏

Now, full honesty — there were a lot of families and characters. At times it got confusing, and I found myself rewinding or revisiting chapters to remember who was connected to whom: which kid belonged to which family, which husband was cheating on which wife… you get the idea. It was a lot to keep straight.

But even with that, the storytelling kept me hooked. The layers, the drama, the depth — all of it pulled me in. Overall, I’m giving this a solid 5/5 because despite the complexity, it was really, really good.
