<strong>A creepy tale about keeping up with the Jones'</strong>

Neighbourhood politics in 1940's  USA. Clostraphobic dark and twisted.

This was a debut novel, and it shows here I feel. Plot jumps around a bit and hard to keep track of everyone and everything. 

This is an uncomfortable exploration of how dark human nature can become if not challenged.
