The Neighbors Are Watching by Aggie Blum Thompson

 


 

 I loved this suspenseful and twist-filled domestic thriller. The two main characters were very sympathetic and I enjoyed following along with their investigation. The twists at the end of the book were surprising.

The Girl on the Beach by Carol Snow

 


 

  I liked the plot, setting, and enjoyed the story overall. The low score is because I didn't realize the book was told from multiple points of view until the end. Each chapter was simply titled Before and After. It would have been helpful for characters names to be included beneath the chapter titles.
