The Girl Next Door - Phoebe Morgan ⭐⭐⭐⭐
📚 I recommend this if you love a gripping and suspenseful thriller
This book was gifted to me by a friend, I'd never heard of the author but thoroughly enjoyed it!! Ideal if you're looking for a quick read that's well written.
It has 3 POVS: Clare, a teenager who has been murdered, Jane who lives next door to Clare, and the police investigator.
I did have my suspicions on who the murderer could be but I kept an open mind with how the plot developed. Definitely gave off unreliable narrator vibes and had some twists towards the end!
Genre: mystery
Number of Pages: 320
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Publisher: HQ

Tropes & Themes: unreliable narrator, secrets, lies, police investigation, police procedural, plot twist

I read the staves of this books. It is an amazing tale of drama, excitement and suspender. Without giving the story away, there are so many unexpected twists and turns that you don't know who is telling the truth! Enjoy

I really enjoyed reading this book. I love mystery novels and this one was thrilling and very easy to read. The writing style was relaxing, not too extravagant, exactly what the plot needed. I definitely recommend this book if you want to read a nice mystery novel that will keep you at the edge of your seat with all its twists and turns!

5 stars. After reading “Doll House” by Phoebe Morgan just a couple of months ago, I was excitedly awaiting the release of “The Girl Next Door”. I was not disappointed. This book is thrilling, non-stop and extremely well written and planned. Reading my way through this, I didn’t want it to end and would not even consider giving this less than a 5 star, excellent review. Very impressed. Cannot wait for the next book by Phoebe Morgan!
