Description
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES meets FINLAY DONOVAN in this darkly humorous thriller about three women's lives colliding around an explosive murder, a bizarre cover-up, and a riveting search for the truth.
"Explosive, addictive, and impossible to put down."
—Noelle Ihli, bestselling author of Such Quiet Girls
Those lucky enough to live in the elite lakefront community of Cloverhill Lakes are drawn to it for its safety and top-notch school district. The moms meet for coffee at the park while their kids play, they’re heavily involved in the PTA, and the summers are filled with chardonnay, brunch, sundresses, and backyard bonfires.
But everything changes when Regan Hoffman’s car explodes at the annual Labor Day party. The wrong person is killed, but it was meant for her. As the carefully crafted walls of her community begin to crumble, Regan tries to keep it together—something made infinitely harder when she sees her dead husband…alive.
When a Cloverhill Lakes resident suddenly goes missing, dark secrets begin to surface from underneath the idyllic veneer of their beautiful community—and the truth threatens to destroy them all as Regan finds herself in a fight for her life.

I really enjoy this author's style of writing.
She has a way of hooking me into the plot with her clever twists, blend of suspense and mystery and cliff hanger chapters that just beg you to read on! There is a bit of a desperate housewifes vibe going on and I also felt a bit of Finlay Donavan as well.
If you enjoy a good neighborhood thriller with some spicy moms with secrets and agendas, you may enjoy this one as much as I did! One of the ladies was really good at keeping secrets and had me holding my breath at times. Not sure how she could compose herself. Grab your popcorn its a rollercoaster at times.

Seraphina Nova Glass has done it again! She is a rare author that seems to only improve upon her novels. While I thoroughly enjoyed her previous works, Too Close to Home had me on the edge of my seat. My only advice for reading this book is just get it and prepare to stay up late to finish it.
Thank you to Harlequin Trade Publishing, Seraphina Nova Glass, and Netgalley for allowing me to read this ARC.
