7.23.2022 - The Perfect Neighborhood

 The Perfect Neighborhood by Liz Alterman

Many thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books/Legend Press for gifting me a digital ARC of this domestic thriller by Liz Alterman - 4.5 stars!

Ahh...the perfect neighborhood.  The homes are beautiful, the people share the best gossip at the best parties.  It's perfect.  The latest gossip revolves around celebrity couple Allison and Christopher and the fact that Allison left their home in the middle of the night.  That's until 5-year-old Billy disappears as he walks home.  His babysitter, Cassidy, was late to meet him at home.  His mom, Rachel, was at work and now blames herself for letting him walk home and not being there for him.  But when another child disappears, the perfect neighborhood is anything but perfect.

This was a fast-paced thriller that kept me flipping the pages, even when I figured out early what was going on.  This story is told from the POV of Allison, Rachel and Cassidy, which really lets you feel for each of them.  There are lots of side dramas and angst, adding to the suspense.  But that ending - wow - didn't see that coming!  Can't wait to read more from this author!
