Overview
Love in the Time of Serial Killers meets The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window in this delightful romp about a recently broke divorcee who moves in with her house-bound mother only to spend their days spying on her grumpy, mysterious, and sexy new neighbor.
Zona never thought her life was headed this way, but here she is, newly divorced and moving back in with her mom, Louise. After her gambling addicted ex-husband lost all of their savings, including their daughter’s college fund, she doesn’t really have a choice. She’s cutting every coupon she can and she’s going to help put her daughter through nursing school, even if it kills her.
This wasn’t Louise’s plan, either, laid up at home with a broken leg after one unfortunate tumble on the senior singles cruise she’d been looking forward to for months. But if she’s going to spend all her time at home, at least she’s got her daughter there with her. And there’s some hot new eye candy next door to distract them both from their troubles. He appears to be single and just around Zona’s age. Could his arrival be the universe making amends for everything it’s put her through?
Maybe the universe isn’t feeling as generous as Louise hoped. There’s something lurking under that mans surface charm, something…dangerous? And who’s the woman they can hear him in all-out shouting matches with on the other side of the fence? When the woman seems to disappear without a trace, imaginations run wild. Or at least, Zona hopes it’s just her mother’s imagination…
Review
Zona has had to move back in with her mother, Louise. She never planned on her life falling apart the way that it has. Her ex husband gambled all of their finances away and now Zona is trying to rebuild. Louise, on the other hand, is laid up at home after a fall on a singles cruise. And boy does this lead to some snooping and completely off base assumptions.
Zona is someone that tries so hard to do the right thing but life just keeps knocking her down. But to her credit, she just keeps getting right back up and fighting. Louise on the other hand…she tickled the mess out of me. She is every older lady in my home town…all up in someone’s business.
These two ladies along with Zona’s daughter Bree and Louise’s caretaker end up spying on the grumpy man next door, Alec. And don’t think this didn’t lead to some hilarious confrontations.
Now, this book started a bit slow. But I loved these characters. Add in the mystery, romance, and funny antics and you have a good tale to get you through the day.
The narrator, Courtney Patterson, nailed these characters, especially Louise!
