I am confused by this book - there has definitely been a trend in authors that wrote YA in the 1980s-2000s writing follow up books for the age group the teens of the 1980s-2000s are in now, but this really felt like a book for people in the age range of the parents of that age group. Not only because it focused on a retirement community, but because of how confused the characters were by technology, and how shocked they were by marijuana, and by both the implicit and explicit stance the book took against abortion. However, it doesn't fall into the cozy mystery genre that I would've expected it to fall into if it was meant to be aimed at middle aged people - it has some fairly intense sexual assault content. So I guess I just really don't understand who this book is for? Also the plot was wild and the resolution to one major mystery was out of nowhere and the solution to the other major mystery was too much of a cop out.
The horrible things about secrets is that they always want to come out. No matter how desperately you want to keep things quiet, all it takes is one quick, impulsive action to start pulling the thread that will unravel the whole thing.
One good deed by one neighbor looking out for another begins a chain of events that races out of control and threatens to reveal secrets that had been kept for many years.
Fast read, give it a chance.
