The Good Neighbor by Cathryn Grant constantly keeps you off balance with a page turning story that makes every character suspect. After a new family moves into a Silicon Valley neighborhood, their homeschooled daughter disappears. Everyone is quick to jump on the idea that she was snatched from her bed.
But Brittany’s disappearance is a pair of hedge shears that starts to destroy the carefully groomed facades of life in her suburban neighborhood. Whether it’s about homeschooling, mental illness, or the black sheep in the neighborhood, The Good Neighbor reminds you, just beyond those manicured yards lies a more complicated scene than anyone wants to admit.
The Good Neighbor is fast paced with biting commentary about the addictive nature of Facebook. And I have to admit, I was so caught up, I didn’t fully see the ending coming.
P.S. I’m gonna need a true crime podcast follow up on this case. I can already hear Ashley and Brit from Crime Junkie narrating it.
