Publisher's summary

From a phenomenal new voice in suspense fiction comes a book that will forever change the way you look at the people closest to you...

Shadow Cove, Washington, is the kind of town everyone dreams about - quaint streets, lush forests, good neighbors. That's what Sarah thinks as she settles into life with her new husband, Dr. Johnny McDonald. But all too soon she discovers an undercurrent of deception. And one October evening when Johnny is away, sudden tragedy destroys Sarah's happiness.

Dazed and stricken with grief, she and Johnny begin to rebuild their shattered lives. As she picks up the pieces of her broken home, Sarah discovers a shocking secret that forces her to doubt everything she thought was true - about her neighbors, her friends, and even her marriage. With each stunning revelation, Sarah must ask herself, Can we ever really know the ones we love?

Easy audio book

Good story, short story, easy listening to. I would recommend this book for a nice car ride.

Not really what I expected

I was hoping for more suspense. It really wasn't predictable but I was hoping for more of a gasping moment. It took too long to get to the climax.

Great book!

This was a great book! At times I did not want to stop listening to it! The characters well-developed and it was a great ending. Hope they make a movie from it.

amazing!

I loved this story. Absolutely amazing. couldn't wait for the next chapter and felt so sad when it ended :/ Not very fond of the narration because I felt like the true emotion of the characters was not captured in the tone. THIS NEEDS TO BE A MOVIE, ASAP.

Meh

Narrator did voices. Ugh. I almost couldn't listen because of her. Read like a romance novel with descriptions of men.

Completely predictable

I had hoped this was going to be something different but it wasn't. Save your $$$

More of a soap opera than a movie

I kind of enjoyed the book, but the central character seemed a little over the top with the drama. The narrator delivered a great performance.

(Spoiler in parenthesis!: She got all bent out of shape over her husbands PRE-marriage relationships. Her paranoia drove the plot, so I was dissapointed when there was no big reveal worthy of the drama. End of spoiler!)

the mystery/investigation was barely present, taking a back seat to the relationship. ~JTC~

If you know Venezuelan’s soup opera well this is the same! A good one though. 😉

NEVER EVER EXPECTED THAT!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Good Neighbor to be better than the print version?

I thought this was an excellent story!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sarah...she trusted her gut instinct and knew something was wrong...just not the right something, plus she was very brave!

Have you listened to any of Rebecca Roberts’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have, and I love her..she never disappoints me! I thought her performance was spot on in this book and flawless!

If you could rename The Good Neighbor, what would you call it?

I wouldn't rename it...

Any additional comments?

** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **

Sarah has a happy life, a dream job as a children's book writer, a beautiful home, a handsome doctor husband, lots of friends...but that all changes in a blink of an eye. Her neighbors house catches fire one night and Sarah rescues their little girl....her neighbors do not make it...and Sarah is injured...this one night triggers a series of events that unfold years worth of lies, deception and an unknown psycho stalker that nearly cost Sarah her life!

EXCELLENT STORY AND NARRATION! I LOVED IT!!!! TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT!
