Told in multiple perspectives, the reader gets the opportunity to understand each character and try to figure out if there is a motive for the crime with each of them. There are a handful of characters in The Couple Next Door that pop up as possible suspects in the kidnapping of baby Cora. Lapena really knows how to captivate her readers and keep them wanting more. The events happen quite quickly in this novel, but they are just the right pace for the reader to digest and then move on to the next part of the story. While reading The Couple Next Door, I had a very hard time setting this book down. When a book keeps you up into the wee hours of the night, it is typically because there is so much excitement that you just need to know what happens next. Review: The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. ❃ I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. What follows is the nerve-racking unraveling of a family-a chilling tale of deception, duplicity, and unfaithfulness that will keep you breathless until the final shocking twist. Both Anne and Marco soon discover that the other is keeping secrets, secrets they've kept for years. Detective Rasbach knows that the panicked couple is hiding something. Inside the curtained house, an unsettling account of what actually happened unfolds. But the truth is a much more complicated story. Suspicion immediately focuses on the parents. But one night when they are at a dinner party next door, a terrible crime is committed. A domestic suspense debut about a young couple and their apparently friendly neighbors-a twisty, rollercoaster ride of lies, betrayal, and the secrets between husbands and wives.Īnne and Marco Conti seem to have it all-a loving relationship, a wonderful home, and their beautiful baby, Cora.
