About this deal

Olivia, Glenda, Raleigh, Becky, Carmine, Paul, Keith, and Larry are just some of the characters in the novel. Olivia and Glenda soon have more to talk about as the police investigation into Amanda's death reveals suspicious behavior all over Aylesford…. That’s when he sets about establishing ‘The Poets’ Preservation Society’ on the advice of a starving artist friend of his, as it aims to help those poets in need. If you love high-octane thrillers from Freida McFadden, I can't say this will be an absolute banger for you.

They also know when the suspect (or rather the suspects, because there are several) they arrest appears to be innocent and is to be released, because new evidence and new leads keep appearing and need to be checked out. To be quite honest I don't think there was a single person I liked but that sure didn't stop me from being interested in their dirty laundry! Gathering experiences and insight, she was able to create more compelling narratives due to her observant nature.

Understanding her genre and her audience, she is one of the most prolific authors working within her particular field to this day. I don't feel like I have a lot to say about this one, other than I really enjoyed it, and I think fans of thrillers that feature in depth character study and traditional, reliable mysteries will too.

But this one also focuses on whole families, on parents and sons in particular, rather than focusing only on couples. She slips these missives under the doors of the two houses Raleigh admits to entering (though there were many more).There’s no better way to learn about your characters than to put them in a situation of conflict and see how they react. Amanda literally had an affair going on with every guy in the neighborhood and they would find out about a new affair every 50 pages and it would be the same shit: they’d become a new suspect for killing her, and then he’d be like: I was sleeping with her but I didn’t kill her! Lapena skillfully maximizes suspense with her dual story lines that eventually collide, as well as some deft misdirection . I think with The Couple Next Door, there was something about the parental lapse of judgment that resonated with many, many people.
