⭐⭐⭐⭐
5 houses. Multiple people in each house. For me, too many people for me to keep track of. That is why I took away a star. It took me until 3/4's through the book to know who belonged to whom and which background. Each household had their own secret. The reader has zero idea as to which house the body belongs to in the beginning.

Each house/family has secrets. Each house has someone seriously thinking about killing someone. One house has abuse. One house has an alcoholic loser adult. One has a kid who is lost and does too much weed. One house has a controlling MIL with a PTDS husband. One has a PTDS wife who is trying to get back on track.

They are good stories by themselves. We get to see them interact a bit from a street party and just seeing each other around. I would definitely give this author another read.
