GOOD MOTHERSâŠ
Never show their feelings.
Never spill their secrets.
Never admit to murder.
The annual Halloween block party is the pinnacle of the year on idyllic suburban cul-de-sac Ivy Woods Drive. An influential group of neighborhood momsâknown as the Ivy Fiveâplans the event for months.
Except the Ivy Five has been four for a long time.
When a new mother moves to town, eager to fit in, the moms see it as an opportunity to make the group whole again. This yearâs block party should be the best yet... until the women start receiving anonymous messages threatening to expose the quiet neighborhoodâs dark pastâand the lengths theyâve gone to hide it.
As secrets seep out and the threats intensify, the Ivy Five must sort the loyal from the disloyal, the good from the bad. Theyâll do anything to protect their families. But when a twisted plot is revealed, with dangerous consequences, their steady foundation begins to crumble, leaving only one certainty: after this yearâs block party, Ivy Woods Drive will never be the same.
