The Neighbor (D.D.Warren 1)

por Lisa Gardner

Resumen

A young mother, blond and pretty, vanishes from her South Boston home, leaving behind only one witness—her four-year-old daughter—and one suspect—her handsome, secretive husband.

From the moment Detective Sergeant D. D. Warren arrives at the Joneses’ snug little bungalow, instinct tells her that something is seriously off with the wholesome image the couple has worked so hard to create.

With the clock ticking on the life of a missing woman and a media firestorm building, D.D. must decide whether Jason Jones is hiding his guilt—or just trying to hide. But first she must stand between a potential killer and his next victim—an innocent child who may have seen too much.

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.
