The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena Book Summary

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Another thrilling domestic suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Not a Happy Family

“The twists come as fast [as] you can turn the pages.” —People

“I read this novel at one sitting, absolutely riveted by the storyline.  The suspense was beautifully rendered and unrelenting!” —Sue Grafton

It all started at a dinner party. . .

A domestic suspense debut about a young couple and their apparently friendly neighbors—a twisty, rollercoaster ride of lies, betrayal, and the secrets between husbands and wives. . .

Anne and Marco Conti seem to have it all—a loving relationship, a wonderful home, and their beautiful baby, Cora. But one night, when they are at a dinner party next door, a terrible crime is committed. Suspicion immediately lands on the parents. But the truth is a much more complicated story.

Inside the curtained house, an unsettling account of what actually happened unfolds. Detective Rasbach knows that the panicked couple is hiding something. Both Anne and Marco soon discover that the other is keeping secrets, secrets they've kept for years. 

What follows is the nerve-racking unraveling of a family—a chilling tale of  deception, duplicity, and unfaithfulness that will keep you breathless until the final shocking twist.

Struggle read. This was a struggle read to finish. The story is absolutely bonkers and would be unbelievable if this was to happen in real life. Not very suspenseful, left a lot to the imagination.

loved it. was my first book of hers. this particular week i had read 3 books prior to this one all written in first person, so her third person narrative threw me off initially. nonetheless, full of twists & i thoroughly enjoyed it. i actually couldn’t predict whodunnit!

I recommend!. A little slow in the middle, but loved the twists it took! I recommend reading!

No thrill. Boring read, don’t waste time

Would recommend to someone with patience. Pretty good book, relatively quick read. The beginning was a bit leading but the twists and turns really came through toward the end !

Trilling!. A real page turner. I truly enjoyed this novel.

Amazing. I loved the plot twist

Shari LaPena Keeps the Story Moving. First off, this is a gripping and tense and enjoyable mystery. As I found in “Someone We Know,” another book by Ms. LaPena, the author sacrifices long descriptions of settings in order to keep the action moving. So much happens in a Shari LaPena book! I mean it! So much unfolds between the characters—enough to fill two books—because ‘a trip to the police station’ is written as “…a trip to the police station.” Boom. You’re there. What does it look like, or how is the character’s emotional life reflected in the way the police station is described? Don’t bother: you’re there; get on with it. Your head will spin! But you’ll look for every opportunity to read and find out what happens next. I’m sandwiching one of LaPena’s books between every other book I read until I’ve read them all. You will too, I think.

Her best!. Her best book, very entertaining, lots of twists. Read on one sitting.

Ridiculous. Something a child might write

Page Turner. Such a good book! It had me thinking about the book when I wasn’t reading it. Kept me hooked! Highly recommended for people who love thrillers & mystery! It’s super scandalous- with matters pertaining postpartum depression, affairs, murder mystery & mental illness. Super twisted, I love it! (((: Very intense. ♡

Waste of time. Not worth the read tbh, wish I could get my money back

Amazing read!. Great book! I could not put it down, so many twists & turns left me captivated.

Review. Awesome

Sooo good!. I read this book in 2 days!!! Loved it

Good book. Good book

A must read if you’re into mystery.. Just plot twist after plot twist and I loved it. The drama! The suspense! The lies!

So Many twists and turns I got dizzy. I loved this book! It was full of twists and turns but was written in a way that made it easy to follow all the ups and downs.

Don’t bother.. Pretty bad.

Excellent. This is the type of book you don’t want to put down, it could really be a lifetime movie.

The beginning and the end were good. I’m a pretty avid reader and have never left a review on here, but this book compelled me to do so. I love murder mysteries and was sucked in by the promise of many twists & turns. The beginning was fast-paced and interesting, but then I absolutely lost any interest around page 200. The middle of this book moves at glacial pace. I have never done this in my life, but I ended up skipping ahead to see what happens and then reading a summary to be sure I didn’t miss anything major. It’s one of those where everything is jam-packed into the end. Frustratingly uneven.

Great read!. Plot twist after plot twist. Definitely didn’t see what was coming.

Definitely recommend. Great thriller! You really don’t know what’s coming next!

Slow start. This book was engaging, but the story took quite awhile to get going. Enjoyed the conclusion and character development though!

Slow start.. Started slow for me. I ended up skipping way ahead and still didn’t miss much and finally got into it..

Good thriller, ending was interesting. I think it would have been 5 stars had the book ended a few pages earlier. Overall, good twists you don’t see coming.

Page turner. Read it in one night. Amazing

Good Story...Poor Writing. I can’t believe agents and publishers passed over hundreds of submissions for this. Flat characters, predictable storyline, and incredibly POOR writing. This began alright and the plot was intriguing at first—intriguing enough for me to overlook the writing. But then it just took a turn for the worst. Unnecessary and totally ridiculous twists and turns, no development, and really STUPID characters. This book feels like a high schooler wrote it for fun and ended up scoring a publisher by chance. Just awful, awful, beginner level writing that ruined what could have been a really good book. Total waste of money. Period.

Lots of twists. Quick moving, well-written, keeps your interest right to the last page.

Great book!. Kept you guessing the whole time Quick read! But the ending…ugh! Lol!

The Couple Next Door. This was the first Shari Lapena book I had ever read & it won’t be the last!! Loved the twists and turns and really loved the ending. 👍 Nevreader

Good enough.... It’s suspenseful and quite a page turner... ending is a bit strange but worth the read if you have time to kill!

Does not disappoint!. Just when you think you have it figured out, this book surprises you. The many twists and turns makes it impossible to not finish the book in one setting!

Very good. Plot twist after plot twist, this book was addicting and I loved it!

Not worth it. As good as this book could have been, it did not get there. Poor character development. An odd switching of narrator, that made no sense. Also, the where was never addressed, just a nameless city.

Keeps you on your toes. So many twists and turns. I really liked this book. I’m probably gonna check out more from this author!

Page-Turner. Couldn’t put it down.

Ugh. What a waste of money. The “twists” are completely predictable and the author’s writing skill is on par with that of a 10th grader.

Worth it. I haven’t read a book in a long time and recently found the time to start reading again. I stumbled across this book and became obsessed. Very well written.

Wowza. So many unexpected twists!!!

Devoured this book!. The twists kept me engaged and wanting to know what’s next. It’s a good read!

The beginning & end were good. The beginning started off good. It was a good story. But the middle just dragged on and on. Did she do it? Did he do it? Did this person do it? And so on and so on.... About 2 thirds of the way through the book I finally realized who it had to be and I turned out to be right. The last few chapters of the book were great! Strong finish. Just wish the middle would have been a little more interesting. Not a book I would read again.

Great!. Loved this book. A fast mystery I couldn’t seem to put down!

The ending!. Wow! This book was fairly short, however some parts of it (especially in the beginning) were dragged out. About halfway through, once I’d figured out who done it, I was ready to put the book down because I thought it was going to be so predictable. Though when I kept reading, there was twist after twist and a complete climax at the ending. I hope there’s a second book because these characters are pretty interesting in itself. Highly recommend if you like a good thriller.

Wow. Had to read to the end. Hard to stop reading.

jaw dropping. wow this book had me on edge, so many twist and turns . literally amazing , loved the suspense , kept me guessing only took me two days to read it , i was sooooooo invested !!

The couple next Door. Awesome read! Right amount of twists and turns to keep the pages flipping!

A Gripping Novel. This is an intense page turner with twists upon twists Read it; enjoy the ride.

Page Turner. Definitely great plot twists!!

I couldn’t get in to it. The point of view of this story is odd. And kind of annoying. I feel that if it was a first person view it would work better with this type of story. It felt so flip floppy.
