Summary
The Fruitcake - A deadly twist on a popular Christmas tradition
Four friends, one fruitcake, and a ritzy town full of secrets . . .
What could go wrong?
When Holly Kelly moves from Miami to the lavish Laguna Palms neighborhood, seeking community and friendship-with her husband and rambunctious triplets in tow-she finds it in spades. She is soon drawn into the intimate lives of almost everyone in their beachfront cul-de-sac, especially her three new ride-or-dies: Gina, Greta, and Chloe.
But when the neighborhood's holiday fruitcake exchange takes a dark turn, the bodies start piling up. The deaths seem like accidents-at first. Meanwhile, their upscale suburb on the shores of Hutchinson Island, Florida, is also being plagued by a series of disturbing disappearances. Men vanish, then reappear in the neighborhood . . . but changed.
The four friends decide to do some sleuthing of their own, and what they find chills them to the bone. When it's Holly's turn to deliver a fruitcake to the Hudson sisters on Christmas Eve four years later, she hears screaming coming from inside the house . . . many different voices-and they don't sound female.
Can they uncover the twisted secrets of Laguna Palms before someone closer to home becomes yet another casualty?
The Fruitcake is a fast-paced thriller that drips with murder, mayhem, and delightful, often delicious Southern hospitality while split narration spins the tale from alternate perspectives. If you enjoyed the TV series Desperate Housewives, you'll love The Fruitcake-a twisty murder mystery you won't soon forget.

Thrilling and fun
A step away from my usual listens, I really enjoyed this book. It could have been set in Wisteria lane - it had all the fun of neighbourhood secrets with a dark undercurrent. It was fun to listen to and it did make me laugh a few times. It really pulled me in and I listened to it in a short time - I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next!
