What the Neighbors Saw by Melissa Adelman
3.0

This was a pretty good mystery, lots of red herrings and working theories, although I was right in the end. I think the drawback for me was there wasn’t a single really like-able character in this. Alexis more than anyone, I mostly just felt really bad for her but it was annoying that she had no spine but was incredibly insecure. Everyone else was awful. And so much keeping-up-with-the-Joneses it was anxiety inducing watching Sam and Alexis be obsessed with status. Still, the mystery part of it was good though.

Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book. All opinions are mine.
