9 posts | 8 read | 5 to read
Secrets, jealousy, and paranoia collide when a seemingly perfect new family moves into a neighborhood with ties to Langley in this gripping thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Need to Know. Idyllic neighborhood, perfect family, meaningful career. CIA analyst Beth Bradford has it all-- Until she doesn't. Now, facing an empty nest and a broken marriage, Beth is moving from the cul-de-sac she's long called home, and the CIA is removing her from the case that's long been hers: tracking an elusive Iranian intelligence agent known as The Neighbor. Madeline Sterling moves into Beth's old house. She has what Beth once had: an adoring husband, three beautiful young children, and the close-knit group of neighbors on the cul-de-sac. Now she has it all. And Beth--who can't stop watching the woman stepping in to her old life--thinks the new neighbor has something else too: ties to Iranian intelligence. Is Beth just jealous? Paranoid? Or is something more at play? After all, most of the families on the cul-de-sac have some tie to the CIA. They're all keeping secrets. And they all know more about their neighbors than they should. It would be the perfect place to insert a spy--unless one was there all along.

This was a great, fast-paced, clever novel about Beth who is a CIA operative but is taken off a case suddenly as it appears her target “The Neighbor” may live close to her. Red herrings, twists and turns made me read long into the night. Loved it!

I liked how the story presented things in a way meant to keep the reader guessing; it made a case for each neighbor being “The Neighbor” in a logical way, not revealing the truth until the end. I really liked that the end tied up loose ends while not ending things entirely; the imagination is left wondering what will happen next. At times it seemed like there were a few too many characters to keep track of because they all have so much in common.

low pick @ 3½⭐

I think this started out okay but then floundered for a while. But eventually, around the last quarter…things started clicking and I found myself sort of invested in the story, after all. Overall, the reveals were a bit shocking and maybe even unbelievably far-fetched…but what do I know…the author is former CIA, after all.

At 40% I was 100% annoyed with Beth - how she worked for the CIA is beyond me. She holds no patience or common sense, is inept, impulsive, and irrational - and I understand her life is upside down, but it‘s the cliché: women are ruled by emotion. This woman is too “emotional” to do her CIA job. (Sigh)…so another “professional” woman who doesn‘t act like a professional under stress (Unless “nitwit” is a new profession?)

If you enjoy a book where you will be thrown off track, and if you enjoy books about the CIA and FBI, this book should be a good one for you.
