Thank you to the author, T.R. Ragen, and publisher, Thomas & Mercer, for providing me with this ARC! Pub Date is November 05, 2024!! I was very excited to read this book.

This is my first novel by this author, and they did not disappoint. I really enjoyed their writing style. This book was not just a thriller but a full-circle story, too. I loved how the author incorporated suspense and topics that had some depth to them. There were just so many layers. The prologue had me hooked, and at first, I wasn't sure how it was going to tie into the story, but it was so interesting to see how the story unfolded.

Some areas fell short, but nothing deterred me from enjoying the book as a whole. If the book had been written in the first person, it may have helped the dialogue, but it is a solid 4-star book regardless! I look forward to reading more from T.R. Ragan.

Add this to your TBR! It is an engaging, twisty, and suspenseful book. Best House on the Block is a binge-worthy story that will have you hooked until the last page.

Aspiring investigative journalist Shannon Gibbons and her family have moved into a beautiful house in the Fabulous Forties of East Sacramento, where Shannon finds a fast connection with a new neighbor. Renowned journalist Rosella Marlow appears to have a genuine interest in giving Shannon’s own career a boost, as personal assistant on Rosella’s new project. Appearances are deceiving.!
Good book! This book was definitely a twisted tale!! With plenty of crazy twists and turns! The storyline was interesting and kept me glued to my kindle! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you Netgally and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

I'm a big fan of Ragan so knew I'd like this one too! Renowned journalist, 65-year-old Rosella finds a letter stating, "I know what you did" but figures it's a prank so disregards it. New residents on this block of historic homes, Shannon, Trey, and young daughter, Mac move in and Rosella quickly becomes Shannon's mentor, telling her they both "harbor a darkness within." But soon the neighborhood is abuzz with the news of Rosella's murder, and of course Shannon was the one who made the discovery so her fingerprints are on the weapon. Believe me, this is a neighborhood you do NOT want to be a part of as everything spirals from here on as there are secrets, affairs, abuse, and things definitely not "neighborly" on this block!
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!
