Best House on the Block starts off strong and keeps going. I love that this book started with a bang! It definitely took me by surprise and I was completely invested in the story.

A shocking kidnapping of a young boy propels this story into a shocking mystery. Fast forward four years after the kidnapping to the Fabulous Forties District in Sacramento, Ca. The seemingly upscale and safe family neighborhood is loaded with deceptions and secrets that lead to the murder of one of the residents.

I loved how the characters had connections I never could have guessed. I kept getting shock after shock as I flipped each page. The book did get somewhat confusing with the amount of characters but wrapped up nicely at the end. I would definitely like to read more work from this author.

Lastly, I’d like to comment on the note from the author at the beginning of the book. It was touching and inspiring of her to share her writing journey.

Thank you to NetGalley, the Publisher, Thomas & Mercer, and the author, T.R. Ragan, for sharing an early digital copy with me.
