In this neighborhood, the lawns are manicured, the secrets are buried, and the neighbors are lethal.

Clara Thorne has spent a decade perfecting the role of the submissive trophy wife, hiding the scars Julian left behind under silk scarves and heavy concealer. She wanted a morning of silence; she got a moment of snap-judgment violence. Now, Julian is dead in the kitchen, and Clara is prepared for the handcuffs.

But the police never arrive. Instead, her neighbors do.

Led by the chillingly polite Eleanor, the community doesn't want justice--they want a clean slate. They offer to bury the body in the Red Garden to protect the neighborhood's reputation. But their help comes with a terrifying price: complicity. As Clara is drawn into the Shadow Council's 'boardroom, ' she realizes she hasn't escaped a prison; she's just traded one warden for an entire street of them.

When a rainstorm unearths a piece of the truth and an innocent newcomer, Sarah Jenkins, begins asking questions, Clara must decide: will she remain a puppet in this beautiful nightmare, or will she risk everything to dig up the truth? In a place where 'Thornes don't bleed in public, ' the most dangerous thing you can do is show your true reflection.

Fans of 'The Stepford Wives' and 'Big Little Lies' will devour this haunting psychological thriller about the high cost of a perfect reputation.
