I was so excited to crack this book open, I love crime, I love a thriller, I love to torture myself with books about missing children because it is my worst nightmare. But this book was not what I expected.
Firstly because I didn't like or sympathize with the protagonists, May, the mother, was weak and pathetic, fumbling around trying to solve the mystery and missing so many important factors and Nico, the father, was selfish and sleazy.
The story follows Nico and May as they attend a dinner party hosted by the most horrible people in the world, their next door neighbors. They leave baby Cora in bed at home, taking turns to check in on her, when they return home later, their front door is open and Cora has gone.
This story-line will take you places you never imagined, its a real (sometimes mental) journey. It leaves you however, with one question. Who the hell does the title refer too? May and Nico or the worst neighbors ever next door?
3 stars for me, its a good formula, but not one of my favorite goes at it.
