Publisher's Synopsis
Seven years ago, Theresa Linden and Jackie Stinson met in a maternity ward. Both sleep-deprived new mothers, they became instant friends. Then they became neighbours on Hot Springs Drive - a nice street in a nice neighbourhood, filled with flower boxes and emerald lawns. One day, in the depths of a sweltering heatwave, Theresa discovers that her husband and Jackie are having an affair. The next day, Theresa's dead 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 again...
