Adults can behave badly, too.

It's the mid-1980s in the tiny town of Longview, Texas. Nellie Anderson, the beautiful daughter of the Anderson family dynasty, has burst onto the scene. She always gets what she wants. What she can’t get for herself…well, that’s what her mother is for.

Because Charleigh Andersen―blond, beautiful, and ruthlessly cunning―remembers all too well having to claw her way to the top. When she was coming of age on the poor side of East Texas, she was a loser, an outcast, humiliated, and shunned by the in-crowd, whose approval she’d so desperately thirsted for.

So when a prairie-kissed family moves to town, all trad wife, woodworking dad, wholesome daughter vibes, Charleigh’s entire self-made social empire threatens to crumble.

Who will be left standing when the dust settles?

A ruthless suspense thriller filled with twisted thrills and jaw-dropping secrets, All the Little Houses is a must-read for thriller fans―and a gripping exploration of what it means to be a wife, mother, and woman in a world of ruthless ambition.
