The Downstairs Neighbor by Helen Cooper
5.0
Read Completed 2/26/21 | 4.5 stars
This was a little gem of a thriller for me! It hit so many things that I love in a thriller including a fast start with immediate interest, secrets upon secrets, many twists and reveals, and an ending that just keeps going. I was supremely engaged the whole time and was riveted to see how all the different points of view connected (with many wrong guesses). It was so interesting to see this book unravel in order to connect.
There are only a couple of minor things I might pick at but really, I enjoyed this book from the second I started listening. There is a ton to unpack from every character and Helen Cooper did a great job at slowly unraveling those stories, giving just enough away to keep the reader guessing and asking questions. I thought just one more thing could have gotten resolved and/or connected to really round out the book but that was about the only piece that was left hanging. Rounding up on star rating for the inability to put it down.
