Neighborhood Watch
Neighborhood Watch: A Novel | Cammie McGovern
3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
A riveting and frightening tale of false accusation from the author of Eye Contact Twelve years ago librarian Betsy Treading was convicted of murdering her neighbor, the bohemian loner Linda Sue. After DNA testing finally exonerates Betsy, she returns to her suburban community determined to salvage her life and find the true killer. As she begins to pick apart the web of secrets, lies, and love affairs uncovered in the wake of her trial, Betsy suspects that her tight-lipped neighbors may know something that she has denied even to herself. In Neighborhood Watch, Cammie McGovern captures the nail-biting electricity of the best literary thrillers and zeros in on the subterranean tension abuzz in a town whose dark secrets threaten to obliterate the glossy faade of a perfect life. It is also the story of a woman coming into her own, finding her strength, and taking control of her life. It asks readers, what sort of price would you pay for the sake of your reputation? Intricately woven, psychologically astute, and filled with complex and surprising characters, Neighborhood Watch marks a significant step in the career of this talented author.

Mehso-so

I enjoyed this author's earlier novel, Eye Contact. This one, about a woman falsely convicted of murder & then released 12 years later, who then sets out to find the real killer, sounded promising. But...meh. This was largely a train wreck of a novel, with way too much going on and odd character development. Minimal ratings here on Litsy. Anyone else read it?

This is what I'm #currentlyreading - a nice break from all the YA I've been reading. Cammie McGovern actually writes good YA novels, too! What are you reading?
