The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena

Spoiler Warning ⚠️
If after reading the summary of this story, you fear for the child involved, you needn't worry. That is the only spoiler I will give, to protect the worried caretakers out there.
I really enjoyed the mystery in this story, and felt it progressed so well. Not the cheap cliche in a thriller where an unintroduced character is thrown in the final chapters and the reader never gets the opportunity to speculate or piece the puzzle together. If you choose to listen to the audiobook, the narrator was fantastic as well.
Ultimately it earned 3/5 for me because of how things wrapped up, but the ride to get there was an interesting one.
