dwittkop 's review for:

Cul-De-Sac by Joy Fielding

4.0

---

The story of families who all live in an assemblance of the same cookie cutter house that surround a Cul-de-sac. The five non-intersecting families begin to intertwine as the group begins to see each other. Tragedies from a veteran with PTSD to an abused wife to a seemingly self-absorbed grandson living off of his grandmother all come together significantly on the Fourth of July as a gunshot rings out in the dark of night. They all are affected by this event, but who of them all does not survive? This was my first read of this author and it did not disappoint.
