I really loved reading this 4 star thriller, it had more twists and turns than a mountain road.SUMMARYYoung, beautiful Amanda Pierce has disappeared. Her husband, Robert, reported her missing when she didn't return home after a weekend shopping trip with her BFF. But... the police and most of the neighbors were not particularly worried. It turns out she lied, she had never planned to go on this shopping trip, leaving everyone to assume she left her husband and marriage on her own free will. In fact, the police outrightly told Robert that they would not actively search for her.But, when her car is found submerged in a lake with her body in the trunk, the police suddenly become very interested. Obviously, Robert is a person of interest. But the plot thickens when the police start to dig a little deeper into her personal life and realize there is at least one man besides Robert with whom she is involved.The majority of the book is set in Amanda and Robert's neighborhood and told in 3rd person from the point of view of Richard and various neighbors. Although the neighborhood seems quite and very pleasant; there is a LOT going on below the surface... a hacker breaking into homes, cheating spouses, drunken teenagers and very nosey neighbors. Could the murderer be one of the people in this close knit neighborhood? It's so darn fun figuring all that out!WHAT I LOVEDFrom the first page of the book, it became clear that almost all the characters have their own secrets, secrets they would do almost anything to protect. It was so intriguing.Each character seemed like a potential suspect at various points throughout the story. I'd like to say I figured out the ending pretty early on but NOPE! I never actually figured it out until it was explained in detail at the end the book.There was so much going on in this neighborhood. I loved it. It was a little Desperate Housewives -ish.This story explores the concept of how far a person will go to protect someone they love and how little people may actually know about the people they feel closest to. How far would a parent go to protect their child, how far husbands or wifes would go to protect each other and how far a person is willing to push their moral limits to protect that person.Throughout the book, there were several big reveals centering around people's involvement with Amanda and Richard Pierce. It made me wonder how many of those things would have happened if Amanda and Richard had moved to a different neighborhood. In other words, would the cheater / cheaters eventually have cheated on their spouse if the Pierces had not moved into the neighborhood. Did they always have it within them or was that behavior brought out due to circumstances. Deep thoughts...WHAT I DIDN'T LOVEmuch. For example, I prefer to believe that cheating, lying and murder are not as wide spread in real life as they are in this book.OVERALLThis was a fun book to read. The suspense was the best part.
