An enjoyable, entertaining story with lots of colourful characters.
This novel follows three women all living on Pine Close, all is not as idyllic as it seems in this neighbourhood, we soon get wrapped up in the lives of Edie, Martha & Robin. The narrative is regularly interspersed with WhatApp message threads which provide amusing insights to the other characters in the neighborhood and the latest gossip.
It missed out on 5⭐ because I didn't find it as engaging as I'd hoped to, it didn't meet my maybe too high expectations of Shortall as I completely devoured and absolutely loved her previous novel Grace After Henry.
Overall this witty look into suburbia contains some fabulous neighbourly put-downs and a twisty mystery which will delight fans of Desperate Housewives.
Thanks to Corvus & Netgalley for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.
