Thoughts:
Three friends, Regan, Sasha, and Andi, live in the affluent,
picture-perfect community of Cloverhill Lakes. On the surface, it’s all charm
and privilege, until Regan’s car explodes during the neighborhood’s annual
Labor Day party. Thankfully, she isn’t inside, but the blast shatters the
illusion of safety, and from that moment on, everything spirals.
Regan is already barely holding it together, numbing her
grief over her husband’s death with prescription pills. When she spots him
alive, just for a moment, from a distance, her world tilts again. Sasha is
juggling her own troubles, including her son Drew’s increasingly unsettling
behavior and secrets she’d rather keep buried. And Andi is forced to deal with
her ex-husband’s new wife, Tia, who is such a nightmare I wanted to strangle
her myself!
Too Close to Home opens with a bang, literally, and
never lets up! The short, cliffhanger chapters rotate between Andi, Regan, and
Sasha. I was riveted as each new thread was revealed, on edge for what it meant
for each of the women! It all builds to
a danger-packed, thrilling conclusion that delivers!
I alternated between reading and listening to the audiobook,
and the narration elevated my experience. Rebecca Lowman (Andi), Brittany
Pressley (Regan), and Karissa Vacker (Sasha) each bring a distinct voice and
emotional tone to their characters. All three narrators shine, making the women,
and secondary characters, feel fully alive.

Book Description:
The two-time Edgar Award–nominated author of ON A QUIET STREET and THE VACANCY IN ROOM 10, Seraphina Nova Glass, is back with TOO CLOSE TO HOME
Nothing in this idyllic community is quite what it seems…
Those lucky enough to live in the elite lakefront community of Cloverhill Lakes are drawn to it for its safety and top-notch school district. The moms meet for coffee at the park while their kids play, they’re heavily involved in the PTA, and the summers are filled with chardonnay, brunch, sundresses, and backyard bonfires.
But everything changes when Regan Hoffman’s car explodes at the annual Labor Day party. The wrong person is killed, but it was meant for her. As the carefully crafted walls of her community begin to crumble, Regan tries to keep it together—something made infinitely harder when she sees her dead husband…alive.
When a Cloverhill Lakes resident suddenly goes missing, dark secrets begin to surface from underneath the idyllic veneer of their beautiful community—and the truth threatens to destroy them all as Regan finds herself in a fight for her life.
Ohhh thrilling conclusion. Nice
