This was fun!
Three women living lives of privilege! Let the antics begin!
Mystery writer, Brooke Davis and her older husband, Jack, have just moved into a stunning mansion in the Bay area. It is a beautiful area with interesting but doable HOA rules. She is instantly welcomed to the neighborhood by Erin King a news anchor who gave me strong Morning Show vibes. She and her husband, Mason a plastic surgeon live nearby. Soon Brooke is introduced to the infamous, Georgia St. Claire known as the “Black Widow” as both of her husbands died tragically soon after marrying her. The ladies become fast friends and ban together when tragedy hits which has some wondering “has Georgia struck again?”
What a deliciously tangled web we weave ladies. Erin looks put together on the outside but is not happy to be aging. Always noticing younger attractive women. After a meltdown on set, she walks off her job and decides she is going to be a housewife -while also hoping her employer will beg her to come back.
Georgia knows what people say about her and she does not seem to care. She even drops the word “dead” quite a bit. She too is put together and comes off as gregarious and kind but could the rumors about her be true?
Brooke is young but she is not naïve. Plus, these women have given her ideas for her current book!
This was fun and highly entertaining. For women who seem to have it all, they also have a boat load of issues as well! This was like reading a high-octane soap opera! Once the drama ball gets rolling it does not stop! This is a book to not take too seriously. It is over the top and entertaining! Pure escapism reading with a nice twist and shocking end.
Highly entertaining, dramatic and addictive.
