maura_es 's review for:
Cul-De-Sac
by Joy Fielding
TW: Scenes of graphic domestic violence, one scene of rape.
This book was fast paced, but very forgettable. We learn at the very beginning that a murder has occurred on a hot July night in Florida. The rest of the book introduces us to the five families living on the cul de sac, and all of their various issues. It becomes clear that quite a few of them have motives for murder. I think this would’ve worked better had it focused on 2 or 3 families instead of 5 families and their myriad children and in-laws. It was a bit confusing to remember all the names and families. Overall, a fast paced & good but not great book.
