Interweaving the humor and mystery of Desperate Housewives with the drama and romance of Days of Our Lives throughout the novel, Matthew W. Grant breathes new life into the genre of small town potboilers.
From heiress Nancy Harrison fighting the manipulations and objections of her powerful family as she pursues a romance with mechanic Roy Trembley to Melinda Rollins, the minister's daughter who is cheating on her millionaire fiance...
From the crazy old lady harboring a deadly grudge, to the young girl who finds herself pregnant, single, and stuck with a playboy boyfriend afraid of commitment...
You're invited into the hearts, souls, and bedrooms of the residents of Slaters Falls where families of varying wealth and stature find their lives intertwined by sex, sin, scandal, and secrets.
Among the ensemble cast of spiteful busybodies, ambitious social climbers, sleazy hunks, conniving bitches, dirty cops, and scheming murderers, several achieve meaningful change. Secrets Of Slaters Falls is classic soap opera that tackles controversial topics such as abortion, racism, and drug abuse.
Not since best-selling classic Peyton Place has a novel so thoroughly exposed the secrets and lies that fester beneath the picture-perfect surface of every small town.
** I was given a free copy of this book for an honest review **
I really like this author, I have listened to 3 of his books so far and all of them were super great stories! Short chapters and really well developed individual characters! This is a super scandalous tale about a small town and what REALLY can go on...there is lies and betrayal...adultery...lust..new love...friendship...crimes of passion, evil people...good deeds..and bad ones! I loved how the ending hour of this book goes crazy with freak accidents and medical emergencies and you just don't know who is going to make it...and then all ends the way it should!! My fave couple Nancy and Roy.....Most evil Karen and Hattie...lol AWESOME LISTEN!!! I TOTALLY RECOMMEND!!!!!
This was a freebie from the author. It is a series of continually rotating vignettes of life and characters in the small, northeastern town of Slaters Falls. The characters are good, bad, and have a variety of issues.
