A delightful suburbian mystery that will appeal to fans of Agatha Christie. Kate Morgenroth describes the apparently uneventful lives of a rich neighbourhood in Connecticut and reveals that nothing is what it seems and "Nobody knows anybody- not that well".
At the beginning of the book, the author introduces the couples who live in the area but the number of characters turned out to be a bit complicated for me, so I wrote a list with some of the features mentioned in the first chapters to know who each person was. There are no spoilers on this list.
Sofie: saw both of her parents' dead corpses. Married to Dean.
Dean: really handsome and he knows it.Married to Sofie.
Priscilla: founder of a mystery book club. Married to Gordon.
Gordon: quite boring according to his wife Priscilla.
Susan: tries to please everyone, especially her husband Harry.
Harry: he's always home late, he's the CEO of a big company.Married to Susan.
Ashley: what many people would call a trophy wife. Married to Steward.
Steward: divorced and married again to pretty Ashley.
Julia: hates the country, the neighbourhood, the neighbours..... Married to Alex.
Alex: no information is given about him in the first chapters.Married to Julia.
There are other characters who don't play an important role:
Candy and Margaret (members of the book club). Pam who was Steward's first wife and Ruth who is a lawyer.
The plot is really entertaining with some twists that will surprise most readers.
