Therapists create a safe space where people can share their deepest and darkest thoughts with no judgment or scrutiny, right?\u00a0 They are impartial listeners who help clients navigate their own psyche in order to improve the overall quality of their lives, right?\u00a0 Well\u2026<\/p>\n
Alice\u2019s life is undergoing sweeping changes.\u00a0 She and her boyfriend, Leo, have decided that not only are they going to move in together, but they are going to relocate from Alice\u2019s cottage in the English countryside to a quaint neighborhood just on the outskirts of downtown London.\u00a0 Alice cannot understand why her new neighbors are not welcoming them with open arms, and she is determined to make friends with the other families in her gated community.\u00a0 As she finds out more about her neighbors and the area, she discovers that a gruesome murder took place in the master bedroom.\u00a0 The murderer committed suicide, but Alice can\u2019t seem to shake the feeling that there is more to the story and it\u2019s not the murder-suicide case that the other neighbors have come to accept.\u00a0 She develops an inexplicable attachment to the victim, and she slowly descends into an over-the-top obsession with finding the victim\u2019s real killer.\u00a0 In her search for justice for the victim, she suspects everybody and nobody, but she will not rest until she finds answers\u2026even if it kills her.<\/p>\n
Trigger warnings: Death, suicide, murder<\/p>\n

It is RARE that I give a thriller a 5-star rating, but I loved everything about this book.\u00a0 It was just a wonderfully written and classic whodunit that truly left me guessing until the very end.\u00a0 If I can be honest, I was fairly certain in the person behind Nina\u2019s murder but I kept saying, \u201cSurely it\u2019s not that obvious, right?\u201d However, the way that it was written cast doubt on my certainty throughout the book, and I truly didn\u2019t know the final truth with absolute certainty until the final pages.\u00a0 I thought the author tied all the loose ends, and the big reveal, while not likely, was believable (which, for me, is rare to find in a thriller).\u00a0 There was also no foul language which I truly appreciated because, for me, it just takes away from the book.\u00a0 Again, that\u2019s just me.\u00a0 I loved the characters and empathized with them and their predicaments. I highly recommend this if you like thrillers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
