Catching a killer is dangerous - especially if he lives next door.
From the hugely talented author of The Kind Worth Killing comes an exquisitely chilling tale of a young suburban wife with a history of psychological instability whose fears about her new neighbor could lead them both to murder....
Hen and her husband, Lloyd, have settled into a quiet life in a new house outside of Boston, Massachusetts. Hen (short for Henrietta) is an illustrator and works out of a studio nearby and has found the right meds to control her bipolar disorder. Finally, she’s found some stability and peace.
But when they meet the neighbors next door, that calm begins to erode as she spots a familiar object displayed on the husband’s office shelf. The sports trophy looks exactly like one that went missing from the home of a young man who was killed two years ago. Hen knows because she’s long had a fascination with this unsolved murder - an obsession she doesn’t talk about anymore but can’t fully shake, either.
Could her neighbor Matthew be a killer? Or is this the beginning of another psychotic episode like the one she suffered back in college, when she became so consumed with proving a fellow student guilty that she ended up hurting a classmate?
The more Hen observes Matthew, the more she suspects he’s planning something truly terrifying. Yet no one will believe her. Then one night, when she comes face-to-face with Matthew in a dark parking lot, she realizes he knows she’s been watching him, that she’s really on to him; and that this is the beginning of a horrifying nightmare she may not live to escape....

Utterly gripping!

Mild spoilers below...
1. The inclusion of the male narrator...why? He was used for a chapter or two and then dropped. What was the purpose? I kept waiting for his return but...nothing.
2. Iggy the detective. We were given indications that maybe he was going to be a central character, but then not so much.
What did he think about Hen? Was he suspicious? Did he want to arrest her? Did he care for her? Was there a relationship in the making here? The author wrote him into situations that created these questions, but then...nothing.
3. Mira. What did she think of Richard? Had she "met" him other than that one brief time in bed with Matthew? She and Matthew had been married for several years, she had to have seen him several times. Also, I think she needed another scene, another conversation with Matthew or Hen at the end -- something.
4. Lloyd. Ummmm...what? His story feels like there are chunks missing towards the end. Very abrupt.
5. There was a coincidence that was eventually revealed between two characters that went nowhere. No reason at all to be included.
Overall, I would have given this book 4 stars, right up until the last 2 or 3 chapters. I still think it's a good book and worth a listen. The female narrator Sophia Amos was excellent, and I will look for more books narrated by her.
