Next Door

A Chloe Fine Psychological Suspense Mystery, Book 1

By: Blake Pierce

Narrated by: Laura Bannister

FBI Evidence Response Team intern Chloe Fine, 27, finds herself forced to confront her own dark past when her troubled twin sister needs her help - and when a body turns up dead in her small, suburban town.

Chloe feels life is finally perfect as she moves back into her hometown and into a new house with her fiancé. Her career with the FBI looks promising, and her wedding is on the horizon.

But, she learns, all is not as it seems in suburbia. Chloe begins to see the underside - the gossip, the secrets, the lies - and she finds herself haunted by her own demons: her mother’s mysterious death when she was 10, and her father’s imprisonment.

And when a fresh body is found, Chloe soon realizes that her past, and this small town, might hold the key to solving both.

An emotionally wrought psychological suspense with layered characters, small-town ambiance, and heart-pounding suspense, Next Door is book number one in a riveting new series that will leave you listening late into the night.

Mediocre

Narrator was montone and various characters were not well done. It was hard to get past. Plot was okay.

pretty good story

need a better editor, Danielle was introvert, not antisocial. after her brief stay, locked up, she got out of "jail", not prison.

Acceptable escape

This was an acceptable escapist book. The police and detecting work the main character works through as an FBI intern aren't entirely convincing but the author did a good job maintaining suspense throughout the story. I appreciated that the subject of mental health and therapy for trauma was included. The narrator brought me right inside of the head of the main character. My only critique of the narrator was her she lacked conviction in her cursing.

Wow!

Great! Great! Great! Blake Pierce is a wonderful writer. She writes the best crime books.

Next Door

Nice read. I liked the plot. The narrator had a soothing voice. Crime was good
