Description
Behind every perfect neighborhood lies a perfect crime.
What do you really know about your neighbors? Less than you think.
When Adam and Rebecca move to Windworth Road, they find manicured lawns, expensive homes, and elderly neighbors - a picture of suburban tranquility. But beneath the polite smiles and pristine facades, deadly secrets fester.
Their arrival triggers a chain reaction, exposing the rot at the heart of this respectable street. Within two weeks, two residents are dead, and Detective Inspector Miranda Murphy must peel back layers of respectability to reveal the darkness lurking behind closed doors.
In a neighborhood where everyone has something to hide, the truth could get you killed.
A riveting Eva McLean crime thriller that proves the most dangerous secrets hide in plain sight.

Praise for the DI Miranda Murphy Series:
? ? ? ? ? Did not see the ending coming.
? ? ? ? ? Another brilliant whodunnit

? ? ? ? ? The story line kept you thinking you knew who did what but you are surprised that you were wrong.
? ? ? ? ? Satisfying scenarios and entertaining characters make the books come alive
? ? ? ? ? I'm really looking forward to Book 2, and if any tv folk are reading this, it would make a cracking three or four part series.

Eva Maclean read her first Agatha Christie (Death in the Clouds) at age ten and has been obsessed with detective fiction and writing ever since. After a past life as an accountant, she is finally doing what she wanted to do in the first place. Eva lives in London with her husband and two cats, her children having grown up and made good their escape. Her favourite living authors are Kate Atkinson, Donna Leon and Mick Herron. The dead are too many to count.
