The Wives of Hawthorne Lane
by Stephanie DeCarolis
In this twisty tale of domestic suspense, four neighbors become the prime suspects in a murder investigation that reveals the sinister underside of their picture-perfect community—from the bestselling author of The Guilty Husband.
Hawthorne Lane is the perfect place to live. Its tree-lined street and stately homes are the envy of the town. Every Halloween the residents of Hawthorne Lane come together to host their famous Fall Festival. But this year, someone won’t survive the night.
As a murder investigation ensues, it quickly becomes clear there’s more going on behind closed doors on Hawthorne Lane than meets the eye. And four women, each with secrets worth killing for, find themselves at the center of it all.
There’s Georgina, the perfectionist and reigning Queen Bee, who pays a high price for her elevated status. There’s Audrey, the bold and beautiful neighbor with the high-flying corporate career, but whose marriage is on the rocks. There’s Libby, the working mother who is struggling to come to terms with her recent divorce while parenting her teenage son. And finally, Hannah—the newcomer with a mysterious past that’s returning with a vengeance.
As the clock ticks down to Halloween, their lives will cross in the most unexpected ways. And soon only one question remains: Who will pay the ultimate price for the lies they all tried so hard to bury?

If you enjoyed the Desperate Housewives TV show, but wished it was a little more tense and thrilling, then you’re going to love this book! Although from the outside the neighborhood looks perfect at first glance, the deeper you dive, the darker the secrets you uncover. I loved getting to know all the MCs, and their secrets. They were unique and complex, and I thought DeCarolis did a great job bringing them to life. The scenes were so vivid, that each chapter felt like another episode unfolding before your eyes. The twists are ones you won’t see coming, and will absolutely keep you on your toes. The further you get into the book, the closer you get to the heart of everything, and Halloween, and the higher the tension and stakes get. I love how we get to watch the clock tick down as everything ramps up.
