![]() ![]() After making friends with the neighbors, Alice unwittingly finds out that something bad happened to the last resident of the house. ![]() ![]() The main character of this book.*Īlice and her boyfriend Leo move into a gorgeous house in a gated community called The Circle. You want to know who could really benefit from seeing a therapist? Alice. *I received a digital copy via Netgalley. For me, I think it’s time I part ways with this author. The pages flip quickly and it's ok if you don’t mind a protagonist who is dumb as a box of rocks (a pattern with the author), some implausibility, and a few eye-rolling moments. Fans of domestic thrillers might want to toss it in the beach bag this summer. This isn’t a terrible read, but it’s not terrific either. The pace does pick up near the end with a few surprises I didn’t see coming, but it was too little, too late. Alice misses obvious clues, and there is a lot of repetitiveness. Strange things begin happening in her home and she becomes increasingly suspicious of her neighbors. The more she learns, the more convinced she is that things don’t add up. Alice finds out the previous owner’s name was Nina, the same name as her dead sister, and becomes obsessed with her. Alice soon finds out why it was such a steal: a violent crime occurred there, a fact her partner kept from her. Alice and Leo move into a beautiful home in The Circle, an exclusive neighborhood. ![]()
