They had a secret, the two of them, and there was no better way to start a friendship than with a secret.
Hen is new in town. She and her husband, Lloyd, have just moved to the neighborhood, and are invited to dinner at a neighbor’s house. Hen spots a trophy that she is sure was taken from an unsolved murder scene in her former neighborhood.

A solid thriller by an author who is becoming a must read for me. I guessed the twist but not until near the end and I was so tuned into the character relationships that I didn’t mind. If you like dark thrillers with great character development, give this one a try!
When you read the synopsis, you think this is just going to be another hysterical woman who nobody believes story. You know right from the beginning that Hen’s next door neighbor is a serial killer. Hen knows too, but because she’s bipolar and has a history of paranoia, no one believes her. But it isn’t that, and it had a twist that I did not see coming at all, and I love it when that happens. Not as good as The Kind Worth Killing, but better than his other books.
Enjoyed this creepy, solid read that keeps you turning pages and has a few little twists towards the end. I would’ve liked more character development and for the plot to have moved a little more quickly, but ultimately enjoyable. Neighbor is a killer with a really freaky brother, protagonist might be unreliable, killers wife may or may not know what’s going on, and who is really the bad guy here?
