pretty good build up, engaging, but repetitive and had an underwhelming ending
A solid little thriller. This author came highly recommended by someone who went through Lapena's entire writing catalog in a month, I can see why considering that once I started this book I simply did not put it down the pages just kept turning.
I did not guess who the killer was until the reveal and that's a pretty rare one for me so I have to give the author credit for that too.
3.5 stars.
a pretty solid classic mystery! I thought who murdered Amanda became pretty obvious about halfway through the book which did bring down the rating for me a bit, but other than that I enjoyed it and LOVED the ambiguous ending.
Interesting characters but I felt like this was just a flimsy plot. At some point it just got really long winded and a little confusing for me with all the characters. And despite all that, it left me wondering âwait that's it?'
An intriguing, easy listen but ultimately not one which will stand out in a few months.
Me encanta esta autora. Con este Ășltimo libro ha vuelto a tenerme atrapada desde la primera hasta la Ășltima pĂĄgina. Deseando que salga su nuevo libro!
A bit too much Desperate housewives for me - many villains, many possible twists, a victim who's almost a villain.
After An Unwanted Guest', I was worried I wouldn't like any more books Shari would release. However, I loved the couple next door and a stranger in the house, so I decided to give this one a try.
OMG. I LOVED this book. It is as good as The Couple Next Door, and definitely better than A Stranger in the House.
I don't want to give too much away but it is definitely worth reading. I will say that I rightly figured out the culprit about two chapters before it was revealed, but that isn't because it was obvious, I just really took my time to think about it as logically as possible, and I'd been paying attention to absolutely everything that had been happening since the beginning of the book.
This is a great read for anyone that loves a great mystery novel!
Another interesting read. I really enjoy the way she writes. Neighborhood treachery and secrets is brilliantly portrayed in this fast paced and easy to read thriller.
