From the "master of suburban scandal" (Samantha M. Bailey) comes a comes a scandalous twisty thriller about obsession, betrayal, and the price of perfection. Just outside Washington, DC, sits Eastbrook, Bethesda—a leafy suburb with top schools, pristine landscapes, and perfect neighbours. It’s not the kind of place where nannies are shot during robberies gone wrong. And in this picture-perfect neighbourhood, someone is desperate to plaster over the cracks in that façade. A year after the unsolved neighbourhood murder, Caren, nearing fifty and staring down an empty nest, has one too many drinks at a graduation party and blacks out on her way home. At least, that’s what everyone says happened. Caren suspects she was drugged by someone. But who? When Caren teams up with a new neighbour who is desperate to figure out who murdered his best friend last year, they start to uncover what Eastbrook has tried to forget. But in a place where appearances are everything, their search for the truth means not only shattering carefully curated perfection — but putting themselves squarely in the crosshairs of a killer.
