🔪🏠 The Quiet Neighbor;

My Review! 🏠🔪

(Written by J.D. Barker)

Blurb;

Cynthia Burrows thought she'd built the perfect life—successful law career, loving husband, beautiful daughter. But when eighteen-year-old Tori vanishes without a trace, Cynthia's carefully constructed world begins to crumble.

The school says Tori was excused by family. Security footage shows her leaving with an older man. And the boy she was supposed to date? His name sends chills down Cynthia's spine—Alexander Beaufort.

That's impossible. Alexander Beaufort is the serial killer who destroyed Cynthia's childhood, murdered her best friend, and forced her into witness protection twenty years ago. He's supposed to be locked away forever.

But someone is playing a deadly game, leaving clues that drag Cynthia back to her darkest memories. With only three days to find her daughter, she must confront the monster from her past and the shocking secrets Tori has been hiding.

In this quiet suburban neighborhood, everyone has something to conceal. And some neighbors are more dangerous than others.

My Review;

I did enjoy reading this book. Despite not being what I'd call an 'easy-read' style, it drew me in pretty quickly from the beginning. The overall plot was good, & this was deffo a good read, though I found it a little out of place in its setting, relatability-wise, as it's setting is based in America, so involved FBI & 'Marshals', also, it's writing style, I found is quite indepth, & there were a couple of instances that I felt the dialogue was a little unnatural in the situation where Cynthia's daughter, Tori, was missing, - though this did not put me off from compellingly turning the pages through to the end!

Based on a rating of 1-10, where 10 is the highest, I would have to give this book a rating of 6, - purely for the reasons I've already stated, - but STILL = a good, recommended read!👌
