Many thanks to my friends at @getredbookspr @stmartinspress  and @macmillan.audio for the #gifted copies of this book.  

 

Hot off a binge read!

 

I had big plans of starting this book right when I returned from vacation last week.  But then our plane got hit by lightenening, meaning our trip home was delayed… and everything got pushed off schedule.

 

Ultimately, I didn’t need that extra time with this book.  This is the kind of book you want to finish in less than 24 hours.  

 

Pour a glass of wine, grab the popcorn, and plan to get lost in the juicy drama on Alton Road.  

 

A murder takes place on the night of the annual block party.  Anyone could be the victim.  Anyone could be the culprit.  This is a neighborhood full of scandal, and no one is exempt! 

 

Addictive and dishy.  Full of secrets and lies.  The more gossip that got passed around the block, the more I became addicted.

 

The best part of the book: Lettie!  I loved her internal dialogue and appreciated the level of maturity she brought to the story.  

 

Thankfully my own cul-de-sac is markedly different from the Alton Road cul-de-sac.  But boy did I enjoy that large dose of escapism and fun on Alton Road.   

 

🎧 Narrated by Megan Turing and Suzy Jackson, the audiobook is the way to go!  The dual narration adeptly characterized our 2 main POV, giving each a nuanced voice.
