Murder in a Gated Community by Laura Koerber – Review by Jennifer Crain

Murder in a Gated Community by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I personally dislike HOAs, having lived in one that didn’t allow for more eco friendly yards and did nothing when neighbors emptied their pool repeatedly into my yard, so I loved the refreshing take and bickering between the neighbors in this book. Instead of a “whodunnit” mystery, this one revolves more around the culture of the community and trying to come to a consensus on what the community means to the members that live there.

I loved the funny anecdotes the best, from the bickering about the Oxford comma at a board meeting to stealing a neighbor’s dog with good intentions. A fast summer read novella that I would recommend reading.
