The Neighbor

A Detective D. D. Warren Novel

By: Lisa Gardner

Narrated by: Emily Janice Card, Kirby Heyborne, Kirsten Potter

From a master of suspense comes a chilling novel that explores the dangers lurking closer than you think. Because even in the perfect family, you never know what is going on behind closed doors….

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?

I really enjoyed this story!!! And loved the endin

Lisa Gardner did an excellent job with this story! If your new to her books, try this one!! It gives you a rare treat! I Love Lisa's books!

Very absorbing, but ultimately implausible

I enjoyed the different narrators in this book. The characters were well realized. It's very addictive to listen to, but the ending is implausible. I don't want to say more, for fear of spoiling it, but I did feel that the author was really stretching to find a surprise ending.

Great story…the twists in the end were worth it

I enjoyed this book. The twists and turns towards the end had a great build up.

Eh...I've read better from her. Ends way too fast.

The characters were OK. The story was OK. The ending wrapped up way too fast.

Unexpected twist and turns -- a gripping tale!

This book was a winner from start to finish ...never expected the ending. Worth reading.
