This book is told as a diary, by a man becoming obsessed with the woman next door. Since he doesn't know her name, he refers to her as Ingrid. Casting her as the perfect "quiet" wife.
Soon, the pandemic hits, casting him into the perfect circumstances to actually meet the object of his attention. Audrey. But as he gets to know her, her realizes she isn't quite as "perfect," as he had assumed. Will she still work in his "plan"? He is running out of time to enact it. She might have to do.
This creepy little thriller of a book kept me on my toes till the very end. My only real complaint is that I wish it was longer. Denzil did an amazing job of portraying the characters' inner depth and secrets without giving anything real away till the end. Yes, I'm a fan!!
