The Rumor

5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Rumor by Lesley Kara was the first book I was approved to review on Netgalley when I joined this year. I really enjoyed this new author and look forward to more books from her.

Netgalley Review:

Wow!  What a great first book by Lesley Kara. 

Joanna is a part time real estate agent in a small seaside town. She grew up in the town but only recently moved back with her young son. They are trying to adjust and fit in. When she hears a rumor about a child murderer possibly living in her town under a new name she uses that to start a conversation at a book club and again with a group of moms at school. Strange things start happening and she feels her son is being threatened. Any woman of the right age could be the killer. 

This was a great book. I can't wait to read more from this author. I could not put it down and did not figure it out until the author was ready to share the answer

Thank you to Netgalley and Ballantine Books for the opportunity to read and review this book.
