How well do you know your neighbors?

The Therapist was my first B.A. Paris novel, and I enjoyed this fast-reading domestic suspense. The premise: After dating a few months, Alice and Leo move together into a home on a gated circle Leo bought before Alice saw it. Soon she discovers a shocking fact about the home that jeopardizes her relationship with Leo. Much fear and suspicion ensue.

I liked that Alice's thought process was spelled out so I could compare my theories to hers. For once, I figured out the perpetrator before the end ⦠but didn't anticipate the additional twists so I was still surprised. It was challenging to track the numerous characters - the neighbors on The Circle as well as Alice's friends. And a couple of things about the mystery didn't make sense to me.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and Macmillan Audio for the review copies; all thoughts are my own.
