The Block Party

Very well written and paced thriller involving women who are neighbors and friends in an upscale neighborhood in Massachusetts. The hook is that we know at the beginning of the book, someone in the neighborhood is murdered during the annual Memorial Day block party. Not only do we need to read the rest of the book to find out who committed the murder, how and why; but also who was murdered. It's an easy read that keeps you turning the pages to learn the answers to those questions but also to explore the importance of communication and the repercussions of revenge.
