The Perfect Neighbours by Rachel SargeantMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well,this book had more twists and turns than a roller coaster.With so called friends like this lot,who needs enemies
Personally I think a more apt title for this book would be nightmare neighbours or neighbours from hell.They might believe in their own deluded minds that they are perfect neighbours but in reality they are mostly a bunch of unlikable,manipulative liars.From the know it all one to the little old man to the creepy one and his door mat wife,they are all hiding something,secrets that they will go to any lengths to keep hidden.Our protagonist Helen finds herself unwittingly drawn into their world which on the surface seems picture perfect when she moves into their exclusive ex pat community to live with her husband Gary.As soon as she is introduced to her new neighbours she senses that all is not what it seems.Helen swiftly finds herself caught up in a living nightmare unsure if she can trust anyone including her own husband.Scattered throughout the story are italicized chapters that are voiced by a student called Fiona.Her chapters where full of mystery,menace and intrigue and where my favourite parts of the book.
The Perfect Neighbours is a riveting,twist packed thriller that had me hooked in from the first page.It's not fast paced but there is a underlying sense of menace throughout the book,the tension building up slowly until all the treads come together in the shocking final conclusion.Nothing is what it seems in this well written debut thriller,you realise how clever and ingenious this author has been when the truth is fully revealed and you think back over things that you have read and see them in a completely different light.I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.
