My review...
When a book grabs your attention and pulls you into the gripping framework of the story from the outset you know you're in for an exciting ride. Boy did this book deliver on all fronts.....a challenging plot that changed directions more times that I could keep up with. Characters so deceiving you had to lay blame at each door in turn, never quite knowing if your amateur detective skills were paying off and an atmosphere so tense I even started to wonder if I had committed the crime.
Phoebe Morgan certainly knows how to bend and shape a compelling story that leaves you breathless in anticipation. I was fascinated, reading in a manic frenzy as the clues and theories were peeled away layer by layer to slowly reach that all consuming reveal. The characters were moulded into believable beings with secrets and histories to hide away from which lent itself to the stifling atmosphere that lurked around this book as a whole.
The Girl Next Door is a riveting read that is not to be missed. A true success in every way that deserves all the praise it can get. If you do not have a copy of this book yet then what are you waiting for? Grab your nearest copy today and dive right in, you won't be disappointed.
