Very Bad Neighbors: A Novel

Summary

A suburban mom dying to fit in must uncover the hidden secrets of her new neighborhood—and thwart a murder plot—in this laugh-out-loud, irreverent, and twisty mystery for fans of Bad Summer People and Finlay Donovan Is Killing It.

Soph has spent her adult life keeping others at a distance. Being married to a hitman, she’s had to maintain a low profile. But after closing that dark chapter, she and Mike move their young family across the country, ready to finally live a normal life.

This town will be nothing like the last: they’ll settle in, go to backyard barbecues with their kids, and make friends.

But their dream threatens to explode before it’s even begun when they learn someone’s put a hit out on one of their new neighbors. What could be going on in this sleepy hollow that calls for murder?

And since murder means questions—from the police and the media—there’s no way Soph and Mike can let that happen. But trying to stop the killing is about to land her in the middle of the neighborhood’s darkest secret, and soon she’ll discover these picket fences can be sharp as knives…
