On a Quiet Street - Seraphina Nova Glass

-

 

There's more going on inside the pristine, secluded gates of seaside town Brighton Hills than meets the eye. As housewives Paige, Cora, and Georgia navigate their own complex marriages in the wake of a community tragedy, secrets that their beloved, exclusive community has held onto slowly unearth themselves one after another. 

"On a Quiet Street" is one of the most engrossing, explosive domestic thrillers I've read in a long time. If you loved the thrilling complexity of "Girl on the Train" and the unforgettable female ensemble in "Big Little Lies," then hear me when I say that Seraphina Nova Glass's latest debut is meant for you. 

The story is propelled so powerfully by interesting and more importantly, believably-complex characters; for me, it was equally plot and character-driven. While its "twists" might not be the most mind-blowing I've read in recent years, the punches they deliver are so perfectly-timed and airtight in delivery that they make for a highly-cinematic read. My heart was physically pounding during this book--I was totally transported into the thick of it and couldn't read fast enough to see where things were going. 

So yes, I quite literally devoured "On a Quiet Street" in 24 hours, chiefly because its characters kept me fully invested and guessing right up until the end. If you're in a reading slump or feel like giving up on domestic thrillers the are all starting to seem the same, read this...now, before it ends up on the big screen.

Let Him In - William Friend

  In the wake of his wife Pippa's death, Alfie is doing everything he can to make life carry on as normal for their twin girls Sylvie and Cassia. Tucked away in their family home of Hart House in London, there isn't much to break the monotony of grief or to fill the Pippa-shaped void now left in their lives. Before long, Sylvie and Cassia struggle to sleep. "Daddy, there's a man in our room," they say. What Alfie dismisses initially as the girls harmlessly processing their loss through the form of an imaginary friend soon becomes something more unsettling. "Daddy, he said he's going to take us away," the girls report pleasantly. Black Mamba, he's called. He wants a seat at the dinner table, he protects the girls at night. He whispers things to them. Things that grow darker in the night. As the days pass, it's clear that something sinister walks the halls of Hart House. Cassia and Sylvie become silhouettes of their former, vibrant selves

Dreaming of Water - A.J. Banner

  Seventeen years ago, the coastal town of Heron Bay, Washington, was wrecked by tragedy. While her parents and others in the community indulged in one of the season's many parties, young Nina Johansen vanished and drowned--in a reflecting pool at the edge of the property.  Nearly two decades later, Astrid has yet to fill the void left by her younger sister's mysterious death. When an unexpected and cryptic call from her Aunt Maude summons her back to Heron Bay after all this time, it becomes clear to Astrid that the truth of that night seventeen years ago refuses to stay buried. And the secrets of Nina's death are closer than she realizes.  "Dreaming of Water" is an absolutely gorgeously-written story of mystery, loss, and suspense. Similar to "In Another Light," Banner's writing is descriptive, transportive, and maintains an impressive veil of intrigue over the entire story without sacrificing pacing or plot details. To reveal too many more details

Notes on Your Sudden Disappearance - Alison Espach

Best described as a dark coming-of-age novel, "Notes on Your Sudden Disappearance" is as thought-provoking as it is poignant. Like many coming-of-age stories, it's much more character-driven than plot-driven, though there is still very much a central plot to the story.   For readers looking for a missing-persons thriller, be not deceived by this (still perfect, if you ask me) title, because this is not that. This is a commentary on grief, and one that's so beautifully done. Our main character unexpectedly loses her sister, and consequently is forced to grow up and navigate life without her at the epicenter of a normal family sliding into dysfunction and disconnection as a result of their very different journeys through grief.  Espach's prose is deeply-moving and darkly-funny; this book is a free-fall into the introspective teenage mind of Sally Holt and what the gaping absence of her sister Kathy means for her life, past, present, and future. If you are someone go
