The Couple Next Door 👶🏼🚪🍼
book review | The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena🍸
my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Setting: New York City 🌆
One night Anne and Marco Conti attend a dinner party at their next door neighbor’s house. While they are away from home, a terrible crime is committed and they are immediately suspects. As the truth unfolds, Anne and Marco discover they both have been keeping secrets. 🫢
There’s no denying this book was a compulsive page-turner. There was all kinds of drama and twists and I ate it up! Couldn’t put the book down. 😳
This book is largely about the crime — who did what, how, why, and when. Not really the setting or character depth. 🚔
It this story was a quick and easy read. Easy to follow along. A few times the detectives would recap everything they knew about the case. 🕵🏻 ♂️
