Description
The award-winning suspense novel in the Detective D. D. Warren series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner
“Gripping . . . Full of inventive twists, this highly entertaining novel delivers a shocking solution as well as a perfectly realized sense of justice.”—Publishers Weekly
A young mother, blond and pretty, vanishes from her South Boston home, leaving behind only one witness—her four-year-old daughter—and one suspect—her handsome, secretive husband.
From the moment Detective Sergeant D. D. Warren arrives at the Joneses’ snug little bungalow, instinct tells her that something is seriously off with the wholesome image the couple has worked so hard to create.
With the clock ticking on the life of a missing woman and a media firestorm building, D.D. must decide whether Jason Jones is hiding his guilt—or just trying to hide. But first she must stand between a potential killer and his next victim—an innocent child who may have seen too much.

Astounding
5By LilysaxHoly cow! This is an amazing read. I found my love for reading all over again. My daughter and I were gripped by this book and the lack of sleep just to finish one more chapter, one more was worth it.Easy read!
4By BWCAguideNeeded an “escape” book. This was a fast read that held my attention until the very last pages.Really good book
5By roomcandyThis book kept me guessing through the entire story. Really good read.Read it straight through!

5By cchad50Numerous surprises throughout all tied together in the last chapter.The neighbor was great
5By Cat~45Second book I’ve read from this authorThe Neighbor
5By Gina KudiI could not put this down! This was my first “D. D. Warren” book and now I will have to read the others!Plenty of twists & turns
5By RMEF239A very unique and different way to tell the story, using 1st person “dialog” throughout with different characters. Definitely a surprise ending.Lisa Gardner
5By Handy Andy in the USAI discovered this writer as I have a few others, by reading a “FreeBook” in the bookstore, however this lady keeps you guessing, concocts fabulous twists and turns and delivers sucker punches when you are least expecting them. Other than maybe going into too much detail on things that are irrelevant I think she is a fantastic writer with a brilliant mind. Looking forward to the next book.Gripping Story . . . until
4By kf#601This was a great who ‘dun it ‘ as the story proceeded, but the ending was less satisfying than the set up.The Neighbor
5By Ashwee1016Another amazing book by Lisa GardnerThe Neighbor
4By Halsterx4/5 stars. Many twists. Good plot. Interesting characters. Hal RThe Neighbor
3By Next Lives HereI have loved most of her books. However, just read this one and was a bit disappointed. I found it somewhat pedantic and predictable.Eh
2By sazak89Had the potential to be good but didn’t wrap up the way it should’ve. Introduced characters that had no bearing on the actual story. Didn’t care for it.Awesome Read
5By Pickles 7The Neighbor is an awesome read!! I have read many of Lisa Gardner’s books but this is by far my favorite. Such a great storyline that draws you in and keeps you up at night. If your a fan of LG you will throughly enjoy this book!!Couldn't put it down!.
5By Papillion727I recently discovered Lisa Gardner and enjoy her books. This is one of the most creative novels I've ever read! The ending was superb and I never saw it coming.The Neighbor
5By WampusCat78One of the best books I have read. I couldn't put the book down, or read it fast enough! Good twists and great characters.Lures you in quickly
4By Mac_ChickAs typical of Lisa Gardner’s book, this one lures you in quickly. For me, the book challenged some of my assumptions about sex offenders and how we rush to judge “who done it”. This book gives you a glimpse into the other side and things and how looks can be deceiving. I did have part of the ending figured out, but only part of it. Good twists and turns. Admittedly, I didn’t like most the characters in this book, even the main characters. I did like Ree, Ethan and Aiden. I’m having a difficult time warming up to DD Warren - thus far she’s not all that interesting. I think the end was a bit over the top and overly complicated, but all and all I’m still a fan.The Neighbor
5By Jroc1074Another great book! It get harder and harder for me to put down one of Lisa Gardner's books.
