Readers say *The Couple Next Door* offers a suspenseful, twist-filled thriller that keeps many hooked late into the night. Most praise its multiple vi...
I really enjoyed how this book, the many running theories throughout the read had me guessing until the very end.
I admittedly was a little sad when the story had come to an end. I look forward to reading other books by Shari Lapena!
God. Talk about a plethora of unlikable characters. Every single person in this book was just awful and I couldn't root for any of them!
**Spoilers**
Ann is whiny and ridiculous. She gets crazy thoughts in her mind and just whines and whines about them.
Marco is probably the most likable of the whole slew- and he stole the freaking baby!
Richard is just a self-righteous asshole who I want to punch in the face.
Cynthia is a slutty manipulative bitch.
The detective is so sure of himself and his theories that you just want to scream.
Alice isn't bad, but you just want to reach out and slap her for being so blind.
Gah. Glad this book is over.

The Perfect Crime Book. Highly Recommend.

Good book with some good twists but didn’t love the involvement of a child and possible harm.
