What would you do if a suspected murderer lived on your street? In Lesly Kara's novel, The Rumor, a mother named Joanna is forced to face that question head on. Joanna moved back to her quiet seaside hometown after her son was being bullied at his old school in the city. The move is little bit farther from her son's father but it isn't all bad, Joanna now has the help of her own mother.
But then a small rumor sparks. Someone who was convicted of stabbing a boy, when they were a child them self, may be living in their tiny neighborhood under a different name. But who is it? As the rumor spreads, partially at the fault of Joanna, everyone becomes a suspect, the innocent become the scapegoats, and no one is really safe... even within their own families.
I read this book in ONE DAY. I could not put it down! It is an excellent fall thriller to sit on the porch with at night. I leave you with a rating of 5 out of 5 Coffee Beans.
Until the next read!
