4.12.2026 - Too Close to Home

 

Many thanks to NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing | Park Row Books, and Harlequin Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the new thriller by Seraphina Nova Glass, with the audiobook narrated by a dream team of Brittany Pressley, Rebecca Lowman, and Karissa Vacker.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own – 4.5 stars rounded up!

 

Cloverhill Lakes is the perfect community – lakefront, elite, great schools, and safe.  The moms are all involved in the PTA and summer is filled with activities.  But when a car explodes at the annual Labor Day party, it seems as though the wrong person was killed.  Then another resident goes missing and all the dark secrets start surfacing.

 

Told from the POV of three moms – Regan, Sasha, and Andi – this is domestic suspense at its best.  Because, of course, nothing is as perfect as it seems behind closed doors.  Everyone is struggling and imperfect in their own way, and each is held captive by their secrets.  There are tense moments, moments of dark humor, some over-the-top moments, but I loved every bit.  I started reading this book, but when I was also approved for the audiobook, did an immersive read/listen, and that made the story really pop.  The production was amazing and I loved having a different narrator for each woman’s POV.  Domestic suspense is one of my favorite genres and this is definitely one to put on your summer reading list!
