The Playgroup is a fast paced thriller that follows 4 moms who are tied by work at a nursery school. While I felt the story moved along well, the second half was slow moving until the end. I enjoyed the development of the characters, but there were a lot of moving pieces to keep up with. I often found myself distracted while reading this one. 

There were a lot of twists and turns, but almost TOO many. I was kept guessing throughout the entire story, which I enjoyed. The final twist was somewhat of a disappointment and seemed farfetched. I will definitely try another book by Leah Mercer.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
