The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena

Plot Summary

The Couple Next Door is a fast-paced thriller about a baby who goes missing while her parents are at a dinner party next door — and as secrets unravel, it becomes clear that the truth about what happened that night is far darker and closer to home than anyone expects.

My Review

I really enjoyed the way this book started. There was tension from the beginning which made pretty much every character suspicious throughout. The plot also moved at a great pace which really hooked me.

I would say the 2nd half didn’t quite feel as tense as the first. Having said that, this was a really readable book.

Rating: 3 out of 5.
