The Couple Next Door

I have my gripes, but I found the story very engaging. It hits the ground running, which I appreciate, and doesn’t really let up.

I picked this up after telling myself I don’t want to try another domestic thriller

I enjoyed this suburban whodunit. Good cast of characters, carefully constructed plot and constantly ratcheting tension

I did binge this in two days because the story was so captivating that I had to know what happened, but I couldn't give it five stars because the characters where two-dimensional at times and (in my opinion) think it would have been better to end on chapter 36 than 37. Still, the narrative was tight and I couldn't put this mystery down.

This honestly wasn't one of the best books I've ever read. I didn't really like any of the characters to become invested in their stories, or even their lives. I mostly wanted to know what happened to the baby, and if she lived. Not sure if I'll be reading anything else by this author. All the characters were pretty shallow in my humble opinion.
