I seldom give a book a ten, but The Neighbor deserves it and more. This is a mesmerizing story that will hook you from the first sentence and will never let up on its captivating grip. Gardner's books are full of unanticipated plot twist and this is her finest. Every time I thought I the plot figured out, she surprised me with another twist. It's like reading an unreliable narrator at times and then second guessing your decision on that. So many good thrillers fall flat at the end, but not this one. I didn't see it coming. She carefully introduced just enough doubt and motivation for other characters to be the culprit and once you realize who it is, you hit yourself on the head for missing the strategically planted clues that were right in front of you all along . And that, my fellow thrillers lovers, is the very definition of a top notch writer.
