A killer secret, lies, twists, and turns set the stage for Best House on the Block! Appearances truly are deceiving and soon after moving to the Fabulous Forties of East Sacramento, Shannon will learn just how deceiving they are!
Shannon Gibbons is an aspiring journalist who has been asked to work as an assistant to journalist, Rosella Marlow. It sounds like a dream job and Shannon is excited until she meets Rosella who is bitter, angry, consumed with grief, and knows quite a few of her neighbor’s secrets. She has a keen eye and has been watching them while at the same time, someone was watching her as well.
When a murder occurs, everyone in this picture-perfect neighborhood becomes a suspect! As the police begin to investigate, secrets and lies will be exposed, evidence will be collected, and neighbors shared gossip while wondering who amongst them is a killer!
This book has quite a few characters, but I found it easy to keep track of them. Everyone and their brother appeared to be suspects at one point or another in this book. I did my own super sleuthing and tried my best to solve the case (I was not successful). I enjoyed how relationships were tested as secrets and lies were revealed. This book had drama galore, and I was there for the ride.
Thank you to Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
