Laurel and Rob West were in need of more space with a new baby on the way and a young son but were struggling to find an affordable home. Rob surprised Laurel by making an offer on a perfect Cape Cod house in a charming New Jersey suburb without her seeing it first. Despite the hope for an exciting fresh start, Laurel sensed that the neighbors were hiding something about the house. And the older woman across the street showed too much interest in her family, particularly her son. Also feeling like she was being watched, Laurel's trust issues stemmed from her mother's murder when she was young, magnified by the recent release of her mother's killer from jail.
Meanwhile, Corey Sutton had recently moved into her mother's condo in Florida. Divorced and mourning the loss of her daughter, Corey is struggling with grief and anger. She can barely keep it together. It becomes evident that these women will soon be connected in some way.
In Liz Alterman's suspenseful thriller The House on Cold Creek Lane, this dark, twisty story is about the complexities of domestic life and motherhood. Two women have to find inner strength when they are pushed to the brink of despair. The age-old question, "Do we really know our neighbors?" couldn't be truer than in this riveting book, which kept me reading through the night.
Many thanks to Severn House for the advance.
