Book Review: On a Quiet Street

A woman who fears her husband may be cheating turns to a friend who had lost her son in an unsolved hit-and-run accident in their affluent gated community. But the plan takes unexpected detours as more secrets tumble out, revealing what really goes behind closed doors and lays bare open the tangled web of lies and dysfunctional relationships that are cloaked under the veneer of extravagance and respectability. Narrated from alternating viewpoints of three women, Seraphina Nova Glass crafts a page-turning affair that builds and builds, seemingly slowly but never losing its grip, even as it deftly connects all the strands and leads to a satisfying payoff.
