This was extremely fun and twisty, and I did not guess the ending because everyone was so sneaky! I thought the characterization of the neighborhood dynamics was really believable. Ms. Lapena does these domestic issues so well, and I'm really excited to read more of her books. Also, moral is never trust a partner lol

In an idyllic neighborhood where everyone seems to have something to hide, a teenage boy goes snooping. He isn’t up to much, just sneaking into people’s homes and hacking into their computers. No big deal right?
Everyone’s secrets are safe with him until his parents find out. Then his worried mother, against better judgement, writes two anonymous apologies and drops them on the doorstep of the houses he broke into… and it just so happens that one of those houses is the home of a recently murdered woman.
Someone We Know was a quick whodunit, laced with small-town secrets, nosy neighbors, skeletons in the closet, and plot twists along the way.
