The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena is your typical "who done it" thriller/ mystery.. except it's not.
While at a neighbors party Anne and Marcos infant daughter Cora is taken from her crib and has vanished. Anne and Marco had set up a babysitter however, she cancelled at the last minute. So they decided to still attend the party, bringing over the video baby monitor to keep an eye on little Cora, as well as pop next door to their house every 30 minutes to check on the infant.
Both Anne and Marco had done a decent amount of drinking that night and decided to return home shortly after 1 AM. To their horror the front door was left ajar and Cora was missing from her crib. The frantic parents call the police and the investigation has begun. The detectives first instinct is that either Anne or Marco has murdered or accidentally killed little Cora and they are covering for each other. The detective is convinced that the parents are at fault, and he keeps true to his conviction.
Shortly into the investigation, secrets begin coming out from all angles. Anne has a violent history. Marco is in need of fast cash. Even Anne's parents fall victim of unearthed secrets.
There are a lot of twists and turns, some you see coming and some you don't. In the end does Cora make it home, are the secrets revealed things that the young couple can get past?
If you are looking for fast paced thrills with murder, affairs, secrets and lies. This could be the book for you.
