Summary:
Think you know your neighbors? Think again.
When actress Allison Langley leaves her former rockstar husband in the middle of the night, her sudden departure becomes the talk of upmarket Oak Hill. But the relentless gossip comes to an abrupt halt when five-year-old Billy Barnes disappears on his walk home from kindergarten. Is there a predator lurking in the leafy suburb? Weeks later, three-year-old Amy-Pat Davies vanishes from her backyard. In addition to sharing a zip code, the missing children have another thing in common – their babysitter, Cassidy McLean, who has a secret of her own.
Big Little Lies meets Desperate Housewives
MY REVIEW
I’m shouting at the top of my voice please read this page-turning novel The Perfect Neighborhood by Liz Alterman, it’s impossible not to put it down!
Soon as I started reading The Perfect Neighborhood, the TV series Desperate Housewives sprung to my mind. And I loved Desperate Housewives, like I couldn’t take my eyes off this book.
Actress Allison Langley and her rock star husband, Christopher, seemed like the perfect couple in Oak Hill, to all the neighbourhood. They were always laughing together, with looking so radiant even when they jogged past their neighbours. And to all the neighbours even their dog was beautiful. How could any neighbours not love them ? The Langley’s were the primary topic to talk about.
But neighbours tongues, start gossiping again about the Langley’s, when they find out Allison has left her husband in the early hours of a late April morning.
Then five year old, Billy Barnes, disappears after walking home alone from Kindergarten. This is something serious that the neighbours become concerned about. Is it too young for a five year old to walk home alone, from Kindergarten? And has he been taken? Abducted.
Rachel Barnes, Billy’s mother took her sons phone from him, so now he wouldn’t be able to call her if he was in some trouble.
Billy’s babysitter arrived late at the house and is now a person of interest in a missing child’s investigation.
I have never read a story with so many twist and turns, and was shell shocked by discovery where they find Billy.
If you love reading books by Liane Moriarty, you will want to read The Perfect Neighbourhood by Liz Alterman.
My thanks to legend Press for sending me a printed paperback to read and review and for inviting me to take part in this fabulous book blog tour.
