    Written by Jamie Day

    Narrated by Megan Tusing and Suzy Jackson

    About this audiobook

    "Appealing. Day’s choice to withhold both victim and perpetrator ratchets up the tension nicely, and her jabs at suburban repression are sharp. This is wicked fun."—Publishers Weekly

    “Narrator Megan Tusing gives an emotive and affecting performance as Alex and provides distinct voices for the barrage of busybodies on the neighborhood message board. Suzy Jackson is a perfect match for the adolescent, idealistic Lettie. Together, they evoke the compelling cast of flawed families in an unsettling and engaging listening experience.”- Library Journal

    “Highly engaging and brilliantly plotted. Absolutely amazing. Readers are going to flip!” —Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author of ONE STEP TOO FAR

    This summer, meet your neighbors.

    The residents of the exclusive cul-de-sac on Alton Road are entangled in a web of secrets and scandal utterly unknown to the outside world, and even to each other.

    On the night of the annual summer block party, there has been a murder.

    But, who did it, and why, takes listeners back one year earlier, as rivalries and betrayals unfold. The real danger lies within their own block and nothing—and no one—is ever as it seems.

    A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

    Jamie Day

    Jamie Day lives in one of those picture-perfect, coastal New England towns you see in the movies. And just like the movies, Jamie has two children and an adorable dog to fawn over. When not writing or reading, Jamie enjoys yoga, the ocean, cooking, and long walks on the beach with the dog, or the kids, or sometimes both.

      This book just flows. It was like a full season of Housewives with teen drama too. Recommend this read. Narrator was awesome.
