The Mother Next Door by Tara Laskowski
3.5
Read Completed 10/28/23 | 3.5 stars
This was a solid thriller with some intrigue, a group of "popular moms", and a fun Halloween vibe. The story was a good, domestic thriller with some underlying motives to uncover down the road. There were a few nice decoys and tricks to make the reader look in another direction and I fell for it for sure!
The ending was a little over-the-top in some ways and a little bit of a let down in others. The reviews for this one were a little mixed so I was unsure where I'd fall, but if I can rate a thriller 3.5 stars, I think it's a good read! It's about what I expect from most thrillers -- a like, not a love -- and this one definitely followed that vibe. It was very entertaining, I was able to connect with the characters, and my mind was allowed to wander and wonder.
I chose this one because of its Halloween theme and it was a little added bonus to read in the end of October!
