The Neighbor by Lisa Gardner

2.0

If you have been following me for a while, you know I love Lisa Gardner. I am so sad to say this one just did not do it for me. I think it's a me problem though, and let me explain why. This book was written in 2009 and was so dated. The concept of email and computers being apart of crime solving was so new at this time, that is it insane to read about now. For example, finding someone's search history was like crazy hard and they were stalking someone's AIM buddies. Also this story is about the typical husband and wife who-dun-it. Hot wife goes missing, suspect number 1 is the husband. Maybe at the time this story was more profound but now, I have read so many husband vs. wife thrillers that it really has to be amazing to make me impressed. The husband was also beyond unhelpful to the police & the reason why was never fully brought to life. Overall it had the pieces of a great story that just didn't come together for me!
