Cul-De-Sac by Joy Fielding

5.0

This is being classified as a domestic thriller, but it's really more of a soap opera with an anti-gun message. Some people have complained about the latter, but I think it was handled well, with the story's focus on the neuroses, poor judgment, and toxic behavior of the various characters as potential catalysts for violence when there is easy access to deadly weapons. VERY satisfying ending!

Trigger warning for some very intense scenes of domestic abuse, including one instance of marital rape. They made my heartrate go up and I'm someone who's never experienced this in real life.
