8.7.2021 - You Can Never Tell

 You Can Never Tell by Sarah   Warburton

Many thanks to NetGalley, Crooked Lane Books and Dreamscape Media (excellently narrated by Jorjeana Marie) for gifting me both a digital ARC and audiobook of the thriller by Sarah Warburton - 4.5 stars!

Kacy was framed for a theft by her supposed best friend and subsequently fired from her dream job at a museum; devastated, her and her husband, Michael, moved to Sugar Land for a new start.  Kacy was slow to trust in making new friends but she slowly met people in the neighborhood, becoming fast friends with next-door neighbor, Lena.  Lena was on her side when it appeared that her old friend was continuing to taunt her from far away.  When the couple found hidden cameras in their home, Lena's husband, Brady, helped them detect and remove them.  But when Michael makes a discovery after being with Brady, they both realized they didn't know their neighbors as well as they thought.

I loved how this book alternated the story with snippets from a true crime podcast telling about this crime.  It led even a more creepy vibe to the entire tale, because there were enough really true details to make it seem so real.  The characters felt real and you could feel for Kacy, wounded from her last friendship and slow to trust yet needing friends in her life.  A must read!
