debs_shelves 's review for:
Cul-de-sac
by Joy Fielding
Carlyle Terrace - a quiet street in Florida with five houses. But those five houses hold many secrets.
The residents are varied - a women running from a traumatic experience and estranged from her husband and trying to move on with and raise her children; the doctor and his dentist wife with two small children, what appears to be an amazing life and many secrets behind their doors; a couple struggling after the husband loses his job and weaves a web of lies he can't seem to get out of; an elderly woman whose somewhat troubled grandson moves in and might be more than she bargained for; and the newlyweds with the meddling mother in law who only adds to their problems.
Then there's a gunshot and someone is dead. But who? And why? As the story unravels you realize it could be any number of people and the reason are plentiful.
The characters and their secrets were well told. The multiple point of view, I believe, only added to the depth. I really liked some of the characters, while others I grew to despise.
Lost of twist and turns in this page turner and it will keep you on your toes until the very end.
