<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.
