About this ebook
A New York Times Book Review Summer Read and Edgar Award nominee! Don’t miss this unputdownable psychological thriller! Perfect for fans of Lucy Foley and Ruth Ware!
When you really start to look beyond the airy open floor plans and marble counters, Brighton Hills is filled with secrets. Some big, some little, some deadly. And one by one, they’re about to be revealed… “A writer to watch.” —Publishers Weekly
The perfect neighborhood can be the perfect place to hide…
Who wouldn’t want to live in Brighton Hills? This exclusive community on the Oregon coast is the perfect mix of luxury and natural beauty. Stunning houses nestle beneath mighty Douglas firs, and lush backyards roll down to the lakefront. It’s the kind of place where neighbors look out for one another. Sometimes a little too closely…
Cora thinks her husband, Finn, is cheating—she just needs to catch him in the act. That’s where Paige comes in. Paige lost her son to a hit-and-run last year, and she’s drowning in the kind of grief that makes people do reckless things like spying on the locals, searching for proof that her son’s death was no accident…and agreeing to Cora’s plan to reveal what kind of man Finn really is. All the while, their reclusive new neighbor, Georgia, is acting more strangely every day. But what could such a lovely young mother possibly be hiding?
Looking for another heart-pounding thriller? Find out how far the shady residents of the Sycamores will go to keep the stranger in their midst from uncovering their deadly secrets in bestselling author Seraphina Nova Glass’s upcoming thriller, THE VACANCY IN ROOM 10!

On a Quiet Street takes us inside a gated community, a place where it's only quiet because almost everyone is hiding something. Is Cora's husband a cheater, or is she imagining things? Was Paige's son the victim of an accident, or was it cold-blooded murder? And what is up with quiet, reclusive Georgia? Seraphina Nova Glass gives us the answers to those questions and more, but she takes a twisted route to get there (twisted as in winding and twisted as in warped). The story is told from three viewpoints - Cora, Paige, and Georgia - and parts of this one are difficult to get through. What I mean is there are things the empathetic part of me had a hard time with, and I had to walk away a couple of times and come back later. So, things do get intense in this domestic drama/suspense, and as much as I dislike trigger warnings, it would be wise to heed them here. On the flip side, some things are a little out there, so you'll need to rely on a good deal of suspension of disbelief. I won't go into details about which parts, so I don't give anything away, but there were things that didn't quite work for that part of me who must question everything. Suspension of disbelief and triggers aside, I expected a story that would pull me in, and I found it. I genuinely wanted to see how everything would play out, and I wanted to know this book's secrets. This is the third book I've read by Glass, and I've yet to be disappointed. This is one I'll be thinking about for some time, and I'll be on the lookout for whatever this author does next.
