Though I liked this book, and I really liked it, I, for the life of me, can’t seem to understand why the hell is this book named as ‘The Couple Next Door.” I don’t want to reveal too much, but the couple really only comes in the picture at the very end and that too only the female mainly, so I felt betrayed as the title is misleading. You can guess the culprit before even reaching the 50% mark if you really focus on the mannerisms of the characters.
And right I was, so this book was indeed quite predictable. I read this book in one sitting as I really wanted to get to the end to see if I guessed the mystery right. The writing style was simple and effective and the overall flow of the story felt very smooth. I liked the idea behind the novel and the execution of that idea was impressive. In fact, I believe that the pacing and tension are the two things that made this book such a huge hit. I liked the characterization and the plot progression and pacing was really good. This book has a great plot and I enjoyed reading it because it was really engrossing.
