The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena
Should you eat chocolate cake? Maybe not. Is it extremely satisfying when you do? Of course. The Couple Next Door provides your sugar fix. Is it going to provide you nutrition? Probably not. But it is so satisfying you may just want another helping.
I got this book as part of my Book of the Month trial last night. I finished it this afternoon. Need I say more?
Quintessential suspense at its best, with all the twists and turns of a classic who-dun-it, The Couple Next Door profiles Anne and Marco, newbie parents who leave their infant sleeping at home while they attend a dinner party next door. Can you guess where this is going? I tried at several turns, but there was always another curve in the road.
I did the classic “I’ll just finish this chapter” move, but then my eyes would start scanning the next page. 300 pages later…Lapena kept this taut novel pinging until the final sentence. Will there be a sequel? If so, I’ll definitely be reading it. If not, she wrote a killer ending.
