Plays Well with Others

Bestselling children’s author Lauren Myracle makes her literary fiction debut with a gripping suspense novel about the dark side of “perfect” parents in a tightly knit suburb.

Jacquelyn “Jake” Nolan has lost a lot: her stillborn son, her marriage, and her job and reputation. Still grieving, she makes a determined effort to start over. She settles into a new house, and, buoyed by a growing friendship with an upbeat woman named Mabel, begins to believe a brighter future is ahead. But this charming little neighborhood across the street from an elementary school conceals an undercurrent of darkness and rage.
