The Cul-De-Sac

How well do you really know your neighbors?

Veteran serial killer Klaus Fischer is determined that his most recent murder will be his last, but like many retirements, this one isn't sticking. No one has come close to suspecting he's buried the victims on his quiet suburban California cul-de-sac property—but he's feeling the urge to kill again, and this time he's set his sights on a target dangerously close to home.

Widowed Peg Jurgensen has lived on the cul-de-sac for the past fifteen years, and she's ready to shed her doldrums and re-enter the world around her. And where better to start than with mothering the curious young teen Eliza van Damal, whose family just moved to the cul-de-sac in order to expose their daughter to a better life.

Eliza, however, prefers to coerce the enigmatic hermit next door, Alex, into helping her pass math. Alex wishes the lot of them would disappear.

The closer these misfits become, the more danger even the most ordinary conversations invite. As the body count rises, can these residents trust anyone hiding behind their doors on this street?

Contains mature themes.

Great twists

I loved the character development, I felt like I was right there in the story! But the end…left me hanging…sequel?

Really great, but it needs a new ending.

Great book with all the angst, but I am not happy about that ending. Granted, I could easily fill in for myself how it all ends, but it's not the same.
