‘All The Little Houses’ by May Cobb

May Cobb is beloved for her wild Texas-set thriller The Hunting Wives—now a hit Netflix series—and her new novel is brimming with her signature deliciously wicked drama. It’s the mid-1980s in Long View, Texas, and Nellie Anderson and her mother, Charleigh, are used to getting anything they want. But when a wholesome new family moves to town, their carefully constructed social empire is suddenly threatened. When we sat down with Cobb a couple of months ago, she described the book as “my twisted wink and nod to Little House on the Prairie.”

What early readers are saying: “Cobb delivers a gripping, darkly entertaining look at a toxic mother-daughter relationship like you’ve never seen before. Told in her signature multi-POV style, the story takes the reader to East Texas in the ’80s, where ‘small town drama’ is an understatement.”
