12.5.2024 - Home is Where the Lies Live

Home Is Where the Lies Live by Kerry Wilkinson

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for gifting me an audio ARC of the latest thriller by Kerry Wilkinson, perfectly narrated by the cast of Matthew Spencer, Rebecca Lee, Julia Barrie. All opinions expressed in this review are my own – 4 stars!

It’s time for a neighborhood street party in Huntington Grove.  Let’s meet the neighbors - Freddie and Heidi just moved into Huntington Grove, but Freddie seems to be keeping secrets.  Willow’s husband is disappearing in the night, and her relationship with her teenage daughter is fraught. Dylan’s wife was murdered and now he’s the single dad to their young daughter.  Allison’s husband is away in Hong Kong, but there seems to be yelling coming from their house.  Everyone has secrets.

 

I love a good neighborhood/domestic drama as the basis for a thriller, because really, who knows what goes on behind our neighbors’ doors – or our own?  This book starts out with a literal bang and a call to the authorities from the party.  Then we go back to start exploring all those secrets.  This was fast-paced with great characters and a plot that will keep you guessing. Wilkinson nailed the gossip that goes on in neighborhoods, schools, small towns, and all that just added fuel to the many fires.  The narrators were great and added to the fun!
