The Wives of Hawthorne Lane

A Novel

De: Stephanie DeCarolis

Narrado por: January LaVoy

In this twisty tale of domestic suspense, four neighbors become the prime suspects in a murder investigation that reveals the sinister underside of their picture-perfect community—from the bestselling author of The Guilty Husband.

Hawthorne Lane is the perfect place to live. Its tree-lined street and stately homes are the envy of the town. Every Halloween the residents of Hawthorne Lane come together to host their famous Fall Festival. But this year, someone won’t survive the night.

As a murder investigation ensues, it quickly becomes clear there’s more going on behind closed doors on Hawthorne Lane than meets the eye. And four women, each with secrets worth killing for, find themselves at the center of it all.

There’s Georgina, the perfectionist and reigning Queen Bee, who pays a high price for her elevated status. There’s Audrey, the bold and beautiful neighbor with the high-flying corporate career, but whose marriage is on the rocks. There’s Libby, the working mother who is struggling to come to terms with her recent divorce while parenting her teenage son. And finally, Hannah—the newcomer with a mysterious past that’s returning with a vengeance.

As the clock ticks down to Halloween, their lives will cross in the most unexpected ways. And soon only one question remains: Who will pay the ultimate price for the lies they all tried so hard to bury?

Kept me entertained

Kept me interested- I try to walk and listen to an audiobook. This was a decent story and the reader did good job.

I loooooved this book

As a DV survivor, you should know that factors heavily into this story. It’s overt enough to be triggering for some survivors, but not extremely graphic. I personally didn’t feel triggered but everyone has good days and bad, so just choose whether you read with your own wellbeing in mind.

That said — WOW this story was satisfying! I thought the author being able to build each of the women until fully developed characters with complexity and true likability in spite of some of their flaws was rare and admirable. I genuinely felt invested in each of their outcomes!

And the way the author delved into the impacts of DV on the families that grow up with it was masterful. She really grasped such inner nuances of it that I got the impression she has either experienced it or studied it well.

Just a major kudos, this was a surprise LOVE for me.

I disliked NOTHING!
