taisie22 's review for:
The Good Neighbor
by R.J. Parker
Leah Talbot hits a deer with her car and stops at a nearby neighbor's house to use the phone. Martin Tate invites her in and calls for a tow. When she stops by the next day to thank him, she finds that he is a murderer who killed the woman who actually lives in the house.
It's a nice premise for a murder mystery, but I found most of Leah's actions incomprehensible and ultimately annoying. Martin becomes obsessed with her and starts killing off the people she's had interactions with. Instead of Leah cooperating with the police, she withholds information that could save some of those people because she shared a kiss with Martin. She could have just told the police he kissed her but she makes a huge deal out of it and can't tell anyone.
The story is told back and forth from Leah to Martin's POV which becomes a bit repetitive but it's a quick read and an easy way to pass a couple of hours.
