About this listen
Today, she walks in on her husband and best friend having an affair. Tomorrow, her body is found.
Seven years ago, Theresa and Jackie meet in a maternity ward. Sleep-deprived new mothers; instant friends.
Then they become neighbours on Hot Springs Drive - a nice street in a nice neighbourhood, filled with flower boxes and emerald lawns.
The story ends like this: in the depths of a sweltering heatwave, Theresa discovers that her husband and Jackie are having an affair. The next day, Theresa's 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...

Critic reviews
Left me absolutely gutted, devastated ... Truly brilliant, sexy and sly storytelling (Deesha Philyaw, author of The Secret Lives of Church Ladies)
A perfect cocktail: precise and gritty writing, achingly and terrifyingly real characters, with a dash of mystery and darkness. Intoxicating (Claire Fuller, author of The Memory of Animals)
Hot Springs Drive is a sneak attack. It has everything you could want in a book, delivered when you least expect it ... I'm in awe (Diane Cook, author of The New Wilderness)
I f**ing loved this. Thrilling and gorgeously observed (A.E. Osworth, author of We Are Watching Eliza Bright)
Poignant, luscious, brutal, gorgeous, heartbreaking and totally unique - this stunning book destroyed me, and I didn't want it to end (Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of The Spare Room)
A bold, unflinching exploration of female friendship, motherhood and desire, with an unforgettable anti-heroine as its bloody, beating heart. I've read nothing like it (Kirstin Chen, New York Times bestselling author of Counterfeit)
A haunting meditation on human desire and the monstrosity that can emerge out of ordinary hearts, on ordinary suburban streets ... I couldn't stop turning the pages (Ashley Winstead, author of The Last Housewife)
Gritty and propulsive, a true page-turner; I couldn't put this book down (Kristen Arnett, author of With Teeth and Mostly Dead Things)
Very engaging story which left me with many things to think about. We do not often see how a violent trauma effects those around it for an extended period of time. Different points of view pieced together made for an intriguing mosaic. Voice acting very good. All characters felt distinct.
Interesting meditation on beauty and marriage,
