About this ebook

From the bestselling author of HERE, HOME, HOPE, comes a novel of suspense and choices, with a nod to the best of Susan Isaacs's tales of suburban murder.

Once again, everything isn't what it seems in the suburb of Grandville. ALL THE DIFFERENCE is the story of three women whose lives become entangled by the choices they make and how, ultimately, one of them turns to murder to achieve her goals.

Roommates Laura and Angie couldn't be more different. Laura is a local celebrity, the television anchor who is motivated to move out of small-time media markets and on to the big time, no matter the cost. Meanwhile, Angie, a luckless waitress, spends her time waiting for Mr. Right to save her from temporary jobs and a life spent making bad choices.

On the other side of town, Ellen abandons her life as a successful fundraiser for that of an isolated housewife in the country estate she shares with her husband, whose affairs become increasingly hard to ignore. When the city’s gossip columnist, Maddie, and restaurant reviewer, Dixon, become involved in the story, the unlikely duo stir up more than they intended.

With her signature mix of compassion and wit, Kaira Rouda once again takes readers on an entertaining journey into the heart of women’s lives in suburbia, this time with a dose of suspense.

Ratings and reviews

Not a bad story. I got a little lost at the beginning with the flipping around from character to character. It felt like a slow start. It took so long to get to know the characters. Once the first murder happened, to me it became pretty obvious who did it. Kinda wish for a better ending but it was not bad. I did like all the characters except for the murderer which I won't name. Don't want to ruin the ending. The murderer was kinda wishy washy and made me crazy with the neediness. I am curious about her next book.

Like other reviewers I really got hooked with the story & finished it in less than 24hrs. But I was disappointed the murderer got away, and some characters ended in a cliff hanger, could not believe I d gotten to the last page

Awesome plot twists. Wasn't positive of true intentions till close to the end. Love books that are not completely predictable. This one fit the bill perfectly.
