Cul-De-Sac by Joy Fielding
4.0

Five couples in a cul-de-sac, and one person ends up dead. If this sounds like Big Little Lies, you're right on the money. I love books about suburbia because there are always so many secrets behind those perfectly manicured lawns and high fences. Bonus: this one takes place in my sleepy hometown of Palm Beach Gardens, FL!

Five couples means a lot of characters to keep track of, but I loved getting all of their perspectives and seeing how they interacted with each other. Fielding did a good job of presenting each family's unique problems and secrets - she kept me guessing. I read this book in two sittings, and I imagine a lot of other readers will be glued to the pages as well. If you like domestic suspense/family drama with multiple perspectives, give this one a try!

Thank you to Ballantine Books for my NetGalley ARC in exchange for an honest review.
