Today she walks in on her husband and best friend having an affair. Tomorrow her body is
found. Seven years ago Theresa and Jackie meet in a maternity ward. Sleep-deprived new
mothers instant friends. Then they become neighbours on Hot Springs Drive - a nice street in
a nice neighbourhood filled with flower boxes and emerald lawns. The story ends like this: in
the depths of a sweltering heatwave Theresa discovers that her husband and Jackie are having
an affair. The next day Theresa's body is found. The truth lies somewhere between the picket
fences and pink blossoms where friendships twist into tragic jealousies and barbecues hide bed
hopping and bloodshed. By summer's end the residents of Hot Springs Drive will never be the
same... An unputdownable unmissable vicious blade of a novel that peels back the fragile
veneer of two suburban families and the deadly secrets roiling between them.
