Welcome to Litsy!

This was a great, fast-paced, clever novel about Beth who is a CIA operative but is taken off a case suddenly as it appears her target “The Neighbor” may live close to her. Red herrings, twists and turns made me read long into the night. Loved it!

I liked how the story presented things in a way meant to keep the reader guessing; it made a case for each neighbor being “The Neighbor” in a logical way, not revealing the truth until the end. I really liked that the end tied up loose ends while not ending things entirely; the imagination is left wondering what will happen next. At times it seemed like there were a few too many characters to keep track of because they all have so much in common.

low pick @ 3½⭐

I think this started out okay but then floundered for a while. But eventually, around the last quarter…things started clicking and I found myself sort of invested in the story, after all. Overall, the reveals were a bit shocking and maybe even unbelievably far-fetched…but what do I know…the author is former CIA, after all.

At 40% I was 100% annoyed with Beth - how she worked for the CIA is beyond me. She holds no patience or common sense, is inept, impulsive, and irrational - and I understand her life is upside down, but it‘s the cliché: women are ruled by emotion. This woman is too “emotional” to do her CIA job. (Sigh)…so another “professional” woman who doesn‘t act like a professional under stress (Unless “nitwit” is a new profession?)
