Publisher's Summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of the Tradd Street series comes a stunning new novel about a young single mother who discovers that the nature of friendship is never what it seems....

Recently divorced, Merilee Talbot Dunlap moves with her two children to the Atlanta suburb of Sweet Apple, Georgia. It's not her first time starting over, but her efforts at a new beginning aren't helped by an anonymous local blog that dishes about the scandalous events that caused her marriage to fail.

Merilee finds some measure of peace in the cottage she is renting from town matriarch Sugar Prescott. Though stubborn and irascible, Sugar sees something of herself in Merilee - something that allows her to open up about her own colorful past.

Sugar's stories give Merilee a different perspective on the town and its wealthy school moms in their tennis whites and shiny SUVs and even on her new friendship with Heather Blackford. Merilee is charmed by the glamorous young mother's seemingly perfect life and finds herself drawn into Heather's world.

In a town like Sweet Apple, where sins and secrets are as likely to be found behind the walls of gated mansions as in the dark woods surrounding Merilee's house, appearance is everything. But just how dangerous that deception can be will shock all three women....

What the critics say

“An atmospheric and entertaining look at the friends who keep your secrets - and the friends who keep you guessing until it's too late.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“If Big Little Lies met To Kill a Mockingbird and had a compulsively readable love child, that book would be The Night the Lights Went Out. I couldn't stop reading!” (Lauren Willig, New York Times best-selling author)

Great read

I discovered Karen White about a year ago and have been reading her books and was happy to see audible ones as well. Really enjoyed this one, the story line was interesting and kept my attention.
