The Good Neighbor – review (AD)

8th September 2019 10 By Rachael Stray

I was kindly given an advanced Kindle copy of The Good Neighbor for review purposes. This is a book you just can’t put down and here’s my full review.


Synopsis of The Good Neighbor

Sometimes the past just won’t stay buried…

When 14-year-old Brittany disappears one night, her parents are devastated, certain she has been taken.

They can’t bear to think about who has done this and why, about what might be happening to their precious daughter.

Their neighbor, Taylor, is a rock, doing everything she can to help – organising search parties, setting up a Facebook page …

As this affluent California community becomes focused on the hunt for the missing girl, it slowly becomes clear that her disappearance is linked to terrible secrets from the past.

Secrets that must be kept hidden at all costs….

The Good Neighbor is a gripping psychological thriller that twists and turns as it races towards its nerve-shredding climax. Perfect for fans of K. L. Slater, Teresa Driscoll and Mark Edwards.



My overall thoughts on The Good Neighbor

I read this book in one day while Elsie napped – I couldn’t put it down.

There’s some twists and turns you’re not expecting.

The story is told by different characters which gives reader different perspectives.

As the story unfolds you find yourself wanting to quickly turn each page to find out what has happened to Brittany.

Was she kidnapped? Did she run away? Why are her parents so odd?

Some chapters are from Brittany herself and we also go back in time too which gives readers more insight and raises more questions.

This is a tense and gripping read and at times I was finding myself holding my breath in sheer anticipation.

This is a good mystery story with some characters embroiled in secrets and lies which start to unravel as the drama ramps up.

I won’t give away any spoilers but this book really made me think how well do you know your neighbours and how far will people go to cover up their secrets.
