The New Neighbor by Karen Cleveland

4.0

Beth Bradford is a middle-aged family woman that works for the Central Intelligence Agency in Virginia. She’s thrown herself into cracking the same case against Iranian enemy forces for the last fifteen years, trying to figure out who the so-called intelligence operative and recruiter they call “the Neighbor” really is before the Neighbor assists Iran in infiltrating the CIA, severely threatening national security. She will not let one thing will get in her way of figuring out this case. Not a divorce, not threats to her family, not souring all her relationships with her coworkers and neighbors, not the suspicious woman who took her house and her life — and not even Beth being removed from her position at the CIA, revoked access, and explicitly told not to touch the case, either. Beth will learn that “the Neighbor” is much closer to her own cul-de-sac than she ever thought possible.

Wow! I really enjoyed this one and breezed through it in one weekend. The action is jam packed from the first page and the twists keep coming all the way until the very last page! It kept me interested and guessing the entire time. The story also left off perfectly. Sequel please!!!!

Thank you to NetGalley, Random House Ballantine, and the author for an advance reader’s e-galley in exchange for an honest review!
