We Live Next Door by Laura Wolfe
3.5
dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This was a fun read.  I enjoyed myself while I was reading it, but there were times when I felt like the actions of our main character were a little unbelievable. I think that the plot of the story was interesting but I also felt like the foreshadowing was a little heavy handed. I think  that the miscommunication trope was a little excessive as well.
I did have fun reading this story it was an absolute page turner I read this in the whole of 24 hrs which is a feat as a stay-at-home mom of 3. I think that this is a great book for someone just getting into the mystery genre. I also think that if you have read books by this author before and loved their writing style then you will probably love it as well.
