The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena (2016)


How can one night out at the next-door neighbor’s dinner party turn so bad? Anne and Marco decide to leave their baby Cora at home alone while they’re at the party. She is in bed, the baby monitor I turned on, and they go home and check on her frequently. Yet at the end of the night they return home to find that Cora has been kidnapped.

The scene is too neat, and the stories just aren’t adding up. Is Marco responsible in an attempt to free up his life? Did Anna have something to do with the disappearance of her daughter? Or is there a mad man on the loose? All of these seem possible scenarios until the ransom note arrives. Soon after both Anne and Marco begin to realize their marriage and life is not what they thought it was.

Who did take that sweet baby, and will she be returned safely? Pick up the book and find out. You won’t regret it. This was the second book I read by Shari Lapena and it was truly a page turner.

3.79 stars on Goodreads, 4.3 on Amazon
