I loved all of Shari Lapena’s books and eagerly picked this one up. Its set in a small town near New York. Teenager Raleigh Sharpe has been breaking into houses His mother finds out and goes to see a lawyer She also leaves anonymous letters apologising in the houses affected.
Raleigh will not say why he breaks into the houses but admits he has been logging into computers. Then a woman’s body is found and everyones a suspect
It feels like nosey neighbours spying on each other with everyone having secrets slowly revealed. The suspense builds as the book moves on. With all that is going on Olivia’s son’s actions are small fry.
This was such a great read I thoroughly enjoyed it and would greatly recommend it.

This was a fun, fast-paced read that I read in the space of 24 hours. The writing was easy to get on with and I found myself intrigued to find out more (although some things I wanted to understand were never resolved). Unfortunately, I guessed the ending in the first few chapters so would have liked to have seen a more obscure twist, but ultimately found it an enjoyable way to while away a few hours on a hot summer’s weekend.
