I thought this would be a fun book. It is clever and references other works of literature along the way that wink to the reader. It features a true crime book club of moms, the main character starts noticing odd behavior of a newcomer that might be suspicious. There is pushback and gaslighting, and the book is sometimes stressful, though very skillfully written as a thrilling narrative.
