About this ebook
Winner! USA Best Book Awards, Mainstream Women's Fiction. Winner! Indie Excellence Award, Fiction/Suspense! From bestselling author Kaira Rouda, "a quick and sexy mystery is a challenge to unravel, and proves there's nothing humdrum about the suburbs." - IndieReader APPROVED "An intriguing cast of characters and an untimely death set the stage for a chick-lit, murder mystery in Rouda's (HERE, HOME, HOPE) latest novel. A trio of strong women form the centerpiece of the absorbing novel. The murder mystery serves as a captivating backdrop to the finely drawn characters, and the twist at the end is a fantastic revelation. It's a nod to Rouda's talent that despite the inherent (and severe) flaws each woman displays, the reader still forms an attachment to each of them. A light, engaging read that keeps readers guessing until the end." ~ Kirkus Reviews "There are few things more entertaining than stories revealing the seamy underside of suburban life." -- The US Review of Books RECOMMENDED ˃˃˃ "A murder mystery that kept me guessing until the end, with lovable characters who made me laugh and cry. Kaira Rouda has done it again!" USA Today and New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster From the bestselling author of HERE, HOME, HOPE, comes a novel of suspense and choices, with a nod to the best of Susan Isaacs's tales of suburban murder. Everything isn't what it seems in the wonderful suburb of Grandville. ALL THE DIFFERENCE is the story of three women whose lives become entangled by the choices they make and how, ultimately, one of them turns to murder to achieve her goals. Roommates Laura and Angie couldn't be more different. Laura is a local celebrity, the television anchor who is motivated to move out of small-time media markets and on to the big time, no matter the cost. Meanwhile, Angie, a luckless waitress, spends her time waiting for Mr. Right to save her from temporary jobs and a life spent making bad choices. On the other side of town, Ellen abandons her life as a successful fundraiser for that of an isolated housewife in the country estate she shares with her husband, whose affairs become increasingly hard to ignore. When the city's gossip columnist, Maddie, and restaurant reviewer, Dixon, become involved in the mystery, the unlikely duo stir up more than they intended. But will anyone be able to stop the next murder? With her signature compassion and wit, Kaira Rouda once again takes readers on an entertaining journey into the heart of women's lives in suburbia - this time with adultry and murder in the mix. ˃˃˃ "More than just 5 stars! It's awesome. If you are looking for that one amazing read, that one read to get completely lost in, then look no further than the incredible talent of Kaira Rouda. Five Book worthy and more, this book will turn you inside out as you follow the characters and become one of them. I absolutely can not wait until the next book releases!" ~ Reviews by Molly "Spicy and Captivating! Kaira Rouda has a gift for engaging storytelling. All The Difference was a wonderful weekend read, that had me turning the pages to find out what happens next." ~ Debbie Steg "Reading Kaira Rouda is like getting together with one of your best friends - fun, fast and full of great advice!" Claire Cook, bestselling author.

Not a bad story. I got a little lost at the beginning with the flipping around from character to character. It felt like a slow start. It took so long to get to know the characters. Once the first murder happened, to me it became pretty obvious who did it. Kinda wish for a better ending but it was not bad. I did like all the characters except for the murderer which I won't name. Don't want to ruin the ending. The murderer was kinda wishy washy and made me crazy with the neediness. I am curious about her next book.

Like other reviewers I really got hooked with the story & finished it in less than 24hrs. But I was disappointed the murderer got away, and some characters ended in a cliff hanger, could not believe I d gotten to the last page

Awesome plot twists. Wasn't positive of true intentions till close to the end. Love books that are not completely predictable. This one fit the bill perfectly.
