ON ASHER LANE, SOME SECRETS ARE WORTH KILLING FOR…
Simone’s mother was murdered when she was thirteen. When her father was convicted, everything changed. Overnight, Simone went from living in a wealthy white neighborhood to scraping by.
Ten years later, Simone has given up on her dreams and lives a quiet life, writing book reviews and getting serious with her boyfriend. But with a true crime documentarian hounding her for a scoop and a surprise encounter with her childhood next-door neighbor, Hunter, the past seems set on haunting her. And after Hunter reveals that his father and her mother had a years-long affair, Simone is determined to find out who really killed her mother.
Simone is convinced that all evidence points to Hunter’s father, a renowned judge who had everything to lose if his affair—and his nascent love child—came to light. Playing the game from all sides, Simone enlists Hunter’s help in her investigation into his family—whether he realizes it or not. But is she so desperate for closure that she’ll risk imploding her carefully rebuilt life?
More than a decade has gone by since Simone’s father was sent to prison for allegedly murdering her mother.
Her search to exonerate him leads her back to Asher Lane, where the clues have been all along. Authors Amber and Danielle Brown deliver a twisty tale of suspense in Perfect Little Lives.
Simone has drawn a distinct line between the past and present, building a life with her boyfriend. When she is approached by someone planning to film a documentary on the murder, Simone lashes out, trying to keep the past hidden.

The authors weave in plenty of psychological tension, especially pertaining to Simone’s character.
Perfect Little Lives showcases a woman’s efforts to find the truth that destroyed her family.
Amber and Danielle Brown both graduated from Rider University where they studied Communications/Journalism and sat on the editorial staff for the On Fire!! literary journal. They then pursued a career in fashion and spent five years in NYC working their way up, eventually managing their own popular fashion and lifestyle blog. Amber is also a screenwriter, so they live in LA, which works out perfectly so Danielle can spoil her plant babies with copious amount of sunshine.
