REVIEW:

Ooooooh doggies, this is a deliciously devious read!

I was starting to feel like every last one of my book-loving friends was already in on Every Last Secret, and you better believe I was not going to be left out any longer. Sure enough, this secret is a keeper.

A.R. Torre’s domestic thriller is a little like The Real Housewives of Silicon Valley meets the zaniest days of Melrose Place. (Gen-X peeps, remember that OG whackadoodle show?!) Some characters are rich, while some characters want to be richer. But they ALL have skeletons in their closets right next to the Pradas and Diors.

I gave up on trying to keep up with the Joneses years ago, so it was fun to be a fly on the wall as two despicable ladies matched wits (and things that rhyme with wits) over a good-on-paper billionaire and all his trappings. Would I want to have either of them over for dinner? Heck no! Would I tune in every week to watch their show? You bet! (Don’t tell anyone, though, OK? Let’s keep that a secret.)

4.5 juicy stars

Every Last Secret is currently available on Kindle Unlimited with WhisperSync for those who prefer the audiobook format.

PUBLISHER SYNOPSIS:

Welcome to the neighborhood. Watch your husband, watch your friends, and watch your back.

Cat Winthorpe has worked hard to get what she has: a gorgeous home; social standing; and William, her successful, handsome husband. Then a friendly new couple moves into the estate next door. While cautious, a good neighbor like Cat greets them with open arms and warm hospitality.

Neena Ryder isn’t a fellow lady of leisure. A life coach with off-the-rack dresses, personal issues, and a husband who hasn’t delivered, she’s anxious to move up in the world. This beautiful new town is a step in the right direction. It’s also making Neena aware of what she doesn’t have. Namely, William. When Neena’s infatuation escalates into obsession, it’s just a matter of eliminating a few obstacles to get the life she wants. The life next door.

As Neena’s secret fixation grows, so does her friendship with Cat. But beneath their cordial interactions is a wealth of temptations, secrets, and toxic jealousy. For both women, the desire for a perfect life can turn perfectly dangerous.
