The New York Times bestselling coauthor of the โcreepy-crawly taleโ (The New York Times Book Review) An Anonymous Girl and The Wife Between Us questions just how well we really know our neighbors in this โdeliciously fun beach readโ (People) about an idyllic neighborhood whose sublime faรงade hides shocking secrets.
Newport Cove, where spontaneous block parties occur on summer nights and all of the streets are named for flowers, is proud of being one of the safest neighborhoods in America. Itโs also one of the most secret-filled.
After a decade as a stay-at-home mom, Kellie Scott is back to work in an office. Sheโs adjusting to high heels, scrambling to cook dinner for her family, andโfollowing years of feeling invisibleโsoaking in the dangerous attention of a handsome colleague.
Kellieโs neighbor Susan Barrett begins every day with fresh resolutions: She wonโt eat any carbs, sheโll go to bed at a reasonable hour, and sheโll stop stalking her ex-husband and his new girlfriend.
Gigi Kennedyโs husband is running for political office, which means her old skeletons, ones she wants to keep hidden at any cost, are in danger of being dragged into the light.
Then a new family moves into this peaceful cul-de-sac. Tessa Campbell seems pleasant enough, if a bit quiet. But soon it becomes clear that Tessa is hiding the most explosive secret of allโone with deadly consequences.
Written in Sarah Pekkanenโs signature โgrippingโ (People) style, The Perfect Neighbors โtransforms clichรฉd suburban troublesโfrom adolescent drama to infidelityโinto a compelling, suspenseful taleโ (Kirkus Reviews).
