I have been reading a TON of thrillers the past few weeks to see if there was one out there that should be on my Thriller Countdown list. My criteria for choosing a book to read is usually that it was a New York Times Bestseller, it has close to a four star review, and I read the reviews by other authors and book critics (the short blurbs on the back cover). This book was mentioned more than once as
"unputdownable" and was recommended again and again on all of my book apps, SO...
#2 on my Thriller Countdown to Halloween is: The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena. This is a novel about a couple whose baby daughter goes missing while they are at a dinner party next door. As the case unravels, page after page of secrets are revealed and leaves you questioning - How well do you really know the couple next door? Your husband? Your parents?
You will like this book if-
✔ you enjoy mystery/crime novels
✔ you like twists and turns at every corner of detective work
✔ you want a book chock full of secrets, lies, betrayals
✔ you want to know who actually took Baby Cora
✔ even once you think you've figured it out, the ending will shock you
✔ UNPUTDOWNABLE is apparently an adjective you can appreciate
I thought I had this book figured out at several different points in the story. But then it would twist and turn and I would be second guessing my original thoughts. I've been listening to a lot of True Crime podcasts lately and this novel fit right into that theme of mystery and suspense.
