Jim's Review
🐛
A book about suburban moms shouldn't be this addictive, but Moriarty is sneaky brilliant. She wraps a genuine mystery inside razor-sharp social satire, and the interview-transcript format keeps dropping tantalizing hints about the Big Event. By the end, it's emotionally wrecking. Four worms — proof that the scariest mysteries happen behind white picket fences.
