While seeking answers why her artist husband committed suicide, Anna moves into his studio, which turns out to be a room in a run down apartment complex. Cass, the handy"mam" of the complex, recently lost everything when her dodgy hubby left her for a cocktail waitress and kicked her out of their mansion. Rosa's husband is both extremely abusive and potentially high up in the Mexican cartels. Things however go terribly wrong when a good deed is met with an unforeseen consequence. As such the various individual stories play out against these "consequences" , whilst building up to a pretty nailbiting climax. Glass is known for creating interesting and well developed characters and then placing them in very interesting dilemmas, and again she does not disappoint. The various individual stories all fit perfectly into the main psychological thriller and the whodunnit has a decent twist or two.

review: this book is like a feel-good-chick-flick had a baby with a lifetime crime movie.. in the best way possible!! is it twisty? sure! is the portrayal gravitating towards people who give you a sense of belonging and acceptance really touching? ABSOLUTELY! maybe i’m just in my feels right now, maybe i just love being white trash but this book was perfect. i wanna be friends with everyone @ The Sycamores lol
