What the Neighbors Saw by Melissa Adelman
3.0
medium-paced
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No


Thank you @minotaur_books @macmillan.audio @netgalley for a copy of this domestic thriller. This story centers on a well to do neighborhood in DC where Sam and Alexis just moved into an fixer upper. In addition, Alexis just gave birth to their second child and feeling lack of support from Sam who is on track to make partner. There is a murder in the neighborhood and things starts going little odd. The story is told from Alexis and Blair (who befriends Alexis and is a neighbor) and I enjoyed seeing how their friendship develops. The story is more about noisy neighbors and people that treat people poorly because of skin color and wealth. The story is a little slow and the bam! the ending gets you.
