The Neighbor by Lisa Gardner

I saw this book when I went shopping with the bestie. Only the 3 little sentences on the front cover got my attention immediately. I just had to buy this book. It’s the first one I've ever read by Lisa Gardner and I can tell you, it's not gonna be the last.

The Blurb:

This is what happened... It was a case guaranteed to spark a media feeding frenzy--a young mother, blond and pretty, disappears without a trace from her South Boston home, leaving behind her four-year-old daughter as the only witness and her handsome, secretive husband as the prime suspect. 

In the last six hours... But from the moment Detective Sergeant D. D. Warren arrives at the Joneses’ snug little bungalow, she senses something off about the picture of wholesome normality the couple worked so hard to create. On the surface, Jason and Sandra Jones are like any other hardworking young couple raising a four-year-old child. But it is just under the surface that things grew murky.

Of the world as I knew it... With the clock ticking on the life of a missing woman and the media firestorm building, Jason Jones seems more intent on destroying evidence and isolating his daughter than on searching for his “beloved” wife. Is the perfect husband trying to hide his guilt--or just trying to hide? And will the only witness to the crime be the killer’s next victim?

My thoughts:

I don’t want to tell you too much, all I can say is: 

Go, buy this book, sit down and read it. If you love thrillers, you will adore this book and I promise it won’t take you long to finish it. You will love it!

I couldn’t stop thinking about this book. It’s been in my drawer for about 2 weeks and it was almost screaming for me to read it and then last week I just couldn’t resist anymore. I didn’t care that I only just started another book; I put it aside and started to read ‘The Neigbor’.

And believe me, I didn’t want to stop anymore. The whole story is just absolutely gripping and impossible to figure out until everything is finally revealed at the end. On one page you think “Okay, it’s him! It can only be him! He killed her, I’m sure she’s dead!” then you read two more pages and suddenly you are like “No no no, that’s HIM! OMG of course! But why? And is she still alive? Where is she?”. But forget it, you won’t be able to figure it out!
I seriously couldn’t stop thinking about the story, no matter what I did my thoughts revolved around this book, all I wanted to do was finishing it and finally knowing what the heck was going on there! And that my friends, didn’t happen to me for a long, long time! This is the first book that seriously got my attention until the very end.
