The Good House by Tananarive Due.

I'd give this one a B or B-. ( Slightly spoilerific details below the cut. )

Thanks for this review. I'm new to her work and am really drawn to her stories. I was especially struck by your comment that her structure gets to the point that it diffuses necessary tension in the plot - that was bugging me in the one book of hers that I have read, but I couldn't put my finger on it at the time. I will eventually get around to reading this - keeping in mind your point of view. Thanks again!

I'm delighted it was useful to you! I didn't really find myself having the same problem with either of the other two books of hers that I've read (The Between and The Black Rose), for what it's worth!
