About this deal

It’s always been my dream to live in the perfect neighborhood. You know the one where all the neighbors are friends, have communal dinners, kids are all buddies. The kind of neighbors you can count on under any circumstances. Well, I had that dream until reading Raven Lane.

The purpose of referencing the hit TV series in comparison to Raven Lane—I think there are some parallels and especially if you are a fan of the show, this current Season 5, which is moody, dangerous, sexier, and edgier than previous seasons. In the aftermath of horrific events, characters try to come to terms with the consequences of their choices, similar to the characters in RAVEN LANE.

Amber Cowie

Esme and Benedict Werner could live on any upscale cul-de-sac. Their neighbours, seemingly all with secrets of their own, could be my neighbours. Or yours. When what seems like an unfortunate accident kills one of them, slowly but menacingly, the layers of their respective onions, are peeled away. Some have darkness and monsters within them. Often they fool others and sometimes they deceive fool themselves. As always, I adore Amber's writing and her diverse and dynamic characters. This was a very interesting look at friends and how much we really know about them and what we keep hidden from other people. My biggest disappointment in this book is that I didn't like any of the characters. I liked Esme and Benedict at first but the more I learned about them, the less I liked them. I know if I lived on Raven Lane, I would sell my house immediately.

There's a minor "whodunnit" element to this book, and there are a few big and small reveals throughout. Some of the reveals were predictable, as the reader was basically spoonfed the information throughout the book, and some of the reveals were not surprises. The information on housing, people, culture, employment and education that is displayed about Raven Lane, Billericay, CM12 0JD is based on the last census performed in the UK in 2021.

Adults behaving badly is a great way to describe Amber Cowie's new novel Raven Lane. This book was full of secrets and lies, and all the things that make for lots of drama! London 1: The City of London: City of London v. 1 (Pevsner Architectural Guides: Buildings of England) Raven Lane was a trip! I went through a whole myriad of emotions while reading this book. I started off curious about the comings and goings of the fancy folk who live in the perfect little cul-de-sac called Raven Lane. It seems it's a lovely little suburbia where everyone knows everyone else's business and there's always a party to be had---basically my hell.

Raven Lane is the second domestic suspense by author, Amber Cowie. I loved her first standalone, Rapid Falls and couldn't wait for her next novel. Raven Lane did not disappoint! I absolutely love a juicy domestic drama and Cowie delivers with Raven Lane. This is full of the type of characters I love to hate and so many of them are hiding dark and dangerous secrets, I know I wouldn’t want any of them as my neighbors! But they were really entertaining to read about and all were rather complex and interesting, but not altogether likable. If you like a quiet style of suspense this is the book for you, it’s character driven and scandalous and even a little sexy at times, but this combo worked incredibly well for me and I raced through this one.Domestic draaaaaaaaaaama! This close cul-de-sac of Raven Lane has quite the characters. When one of them, Torn, dies in an accident, Benedict is now on trial for hitting him with his car. Once it's realized he wasn't entirely sober, this accident becomes a torrid insight to the lives of everyone on Raven Lane.

A story about the secrets that we try to hide, but that always eventually come to light. Dark, character-driven, and addictive! I'd also like to point out that the only reason Esme even knew about Julia and Benedict is because Torn told her because he WITNESSED it. Hello, why is no one freaking out about this? Multiple adults know and no one is acting like this is a big deal. It's even heavily hinted throughout the book that Zoe is aware something is up between her dad and her fellow teenage neighbor. Any supplementary data should not be relied upon as forming part of any property particulars and OnTheMarket cannot be held responsible for any incorrectness in this data. See here for more information. Set in the Pacific Northwest, an exclusive neighborhood. Little traffic. Safe neighborhood? The residents of Raven Lane are drawn into a web of secrets, lies, betrayal, scandal, and tragedy.I also loved that there was a book within a book! The neighbor that dies is an author and Cowie included paragraphs from his book into Raven Lane. I always enjoy when an author does that, and it gave this one a little something extra. The only thing I am a little confused by is the fact this is marketed as a mystery/thriller since I found it to be more of a drama, and there isn't really all that much mystery to it besides the secrets people are hiding. Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services Stairs rise up to the first floor which comprises of two bedrooms and a family bathroom with bath and wash hand basin. Zoe and Julia are starting their senior year of high school as this story starts. So Julia is 17 mayyyyyyybe 18 if she's got a fall birthday like I'm talking within the first week of school starting. WHY IS NO ONE OUTRAGED ABOUT THIS? While I'm on the topic of editing, Esme's chef goes under two names in this book. He's originally introduced as Anthony Cole and then later is referred to as Anthony King.
