Nora's been married to her husband, Hayden, for nearly 10 years now. They have a beautiful four-year-old daughter, Liv, and Nora is in the midst of one of the most important years of her career as she potentially approaches partnership at the law firm she works at, while also finishing up the first trimester of her second pregnancy. But sweet as her husband may be, he's not the most helpful partner, always needing to be told what has to be done while simultaneously calling her out for being a nag or being unfair to him. When, while searching for a new home for their growing family, Nora stumbles upon a group of high-achieving women with loving and supportive husbands in their potential new neighborhood of Dynasty Ranch, it's not a stretch to say she's entranced. When they hire her to look into the wrongful death of the husband of one of the women, Nora begins to have some seeds of doubt planted in her mind. Things seem just a little too perfect, and the women seem too keen on their widowed friend moving on with her life. What exactly is going on in Dynasty Ranch?

A quick, Stepford Wives-esque reversal with some serious underlying tension. Throughout the whole book, I was so angry for the main character. It made it hard to put the book down!

What a strange book, definitely will stick with me for a minute because I was not expecting where it took me. Quite a different story line from other psychological thrillers/mysteries I have read recently, which was nice. The ending really blew my mind!
