What is Bad Move about?
SUMMARY: In the too-quiet town of Oakwood, only the lucky die of boredom…and new homeowner Zack Walker isnвЂTMt feeling lucky. Whoever said the burbs were boring will think twice after reading Linwood BarclayвЂTMs hilarious debut mystery, in which Dad learns the hard way that he doesnвЂTMt always know best.Zack wouldnвЂTMt blame you for thinking heвЂTMs safety-obsessed. True, he masterminded a plot to trade his familyвЂTMs exciting city lifestyle for one of suburban tranquillity. True, even after this strategic move, Zack still has issues with family members who forget their keys in the front door, leave their cars unlocked, or park their backpacks at the top of the stairs—where you could kill yourself tripping over them. Just ask his wife, Sarah, or his teenage kids, Paul and Angie, who endure their share of lectures. Zack knows that he needs to chill out and assume the best for once—but we know what happens to those who assume.When Zack realizes their two-faced developer sent a petty thief to fix their leaky shower, he starts fighting hard to ignore the fact that Oakwood isnвЂTMt the crime-free paradise he was hoping for. But his brief state of denial comes to an abrupt end
