Fiction hasn’t been my thing for at least two decades, yet that never stopped me from watching fiction author interviews on TV, like the one I saw of Shari Lapena. I watch as many interviews as I can and I go to some author-talks. Libraries are great for them. Okay libraries are great for a lot of things like if you want to get out and about, you know if you are feeling lonely. Just be careful of the company you choose to keep. You never know what someone is thinking or hiding and why. Fiction has to come from somewhere.
I don’t know where Shari Lapena gets her writing ideas from, I just know I am hooked. Here is what the back cover has to say about, The Couple Next Door
Anne and Marco Conti seem to have it all—a loving relationship, a wonderful home, and their beautiful baby, Cora. But one night when they are at a dinner party next door, a terrible crime is committed. Suspicion immediately falls on the parents. But the truth is much more complicated.
What follows is the nerve-racking unraveling of a family. Detective Rasbach knows that the panicked couple is hiding something inside the curtained house. Anne and Marco both soon discover that the other is keeping secrets they’ve kept for years. The shocking truth will leave you breathless.
The Couple Next Door, is a fantastic thriller that had me thinking about it all the time. Even though I could not stop reading it, I also did not want it to end. It was excellent! And I hope there is a sequel! I highly recommend it.
Shari Lapena is a Canadian author and she is on my radar. I will be reading more of her books. Who knows, maybe if I feel the need to get out and about, you know if I am feeling lonely, I will get one of her books from the library.
Here is a post from Behind the Blog. It is called, Whose Romance Are You Financiang?
