Human behaviour

Okay not what I was expecting for a mystery. It was well written and does show a good understanding of people but it just wasn't for me. Mainly because I wouldn't call It a mystery, the murder didn't happen until the last hour of the book, it was more a family drama or a study in people's behaviour.The victim wasn't nice and to be honest I am surprised she lasted as long as she did. I did like the main character but thought she would have done more than argue with her son, to help an abused child. It was also a little be annoying that the uncle used the exact same words every time to describe his niece.
Katherine breaks her hip and when she comes out of hospital it's to find changed have accrued in her street. A new family have moved in but it is not long before she realises the single mother of two, isn't the kind of neighbour you want living next door. She manipulates men into doing what she wants, is two faced to there wives, her son is a spoiled brat that bullies all the other kids and her daughter is scared of her own shadow. It's no wonder the woman ends up dead but can Katherine protect all her friends from being accused of killing her?
I liked the narrator. She used her voice well to portray young and old characters making it easy to follow along with who was speaking.
