Lauren Street has always loved a mystery. As a kid growing up in bible belt country, she devoured every whodunit book she could get her sticky little hands on and secretly investigated all of her (seemingly) normal, boring neighbors. Sometimes, their pets and farm animals, too. All grown up now and living in the UK with her thoroughly unsuspicious (and often unsuspecting) husband, she writes domestic psychological thrillers about families torn apart by secrets and lies. And she still sometimes peers over garden walls to check up on the neighbors.
