The Perfect Neighborhood: A gripping psychological thriller that will keep you hooked to the last chilling twist (The Secrets of Suburbia Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Jo Crow (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 885 ratings
The perfect neighborhood, the perfect neighbors, the perfect trap...

New mother Holly has always dreamed of raising a family away from the city—and now that dream is a reality as she moves into an idyllic suburb with her husband Mike and their baby daughter Clare. The quiet, peaceful neighborhood couldn't be more perfect.

But as the family settles into their new home, Holly can't shrug off the feeling she's being watched and followed on her morning walks with Clare. At first, she dismisses this as new parent jitters. But soon the unusual—and dangerous—occurrences on Holly’s tree-lined block become impossible to ignore.

As her days and nights grow more isolated and filled with paranoia, Holly struggles to convince her husband that the threat isn’t just in her imagination—and that the secrets lurking in their perfect neighborhood could ruin them all.

NOTE: Books in the 'Secrets of Suburbia' Series can be read as standalones, but are linked by common themes of motherhood, suburbia not being as safe as you think, and how the perfect, sanitized version of life that people often show is far from the truth. Gripping stories with shocking twists just a click away.

    This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. It was truly gripping! Just when you thought you’d reached the climax and that the story is resolved you find that you the plot thickens as you still have over 100 pages left to read. The plot twist was spell binding and superb! Keep guessing but you will never expect this plot twist. As a woman and a mother, this book will have you asking yourself, “just how far would I go?”. Truly a great read! A+++++++

    Very good thriller with creepy twists that keep you flipping the pages to find out what is going to happen next. Holly and her husband seemed like the perfect couple until they suddenly weren't.

    Good Book. The story revolves around Holly, her husband Mike and their daughter Clare. They buy a house in an upscale neighborhood but strange things keep happening to Holly. Mike thinks Holly is overreacting to these situations. She finally takes matters into her own hands and starts to get results. Good story with several twists and a very satisfying ending.

    Jo Crow is a great storyteller and the way she weaves the story and the characters is an amazing feat. Holly is a strong mother who knows what she is doing to protect Clare. The outside manipulations causes her to be concerned about post partum depression. But her strength show through the entire book

    Holly & her husband, a Dr. & JD respectively move to the suburbs to provide a better life for their daughter. While on maternity leave Hooky starts feeling paranoid and anxious, aware of how quickly postpartum depression occurs -so Holly is actively monitoring her behavior. But bad stuff just keeps happening with negative consequences for both her and her husband.
    SPOILER ALERT- The gaslighting was extreme, scary & so real.

    You’ll love it if you you like domestic noir or psych suspense.

    Eloquently written, we follow Holly as her life unravels through a series of unusual circumstances. Caring for a new baby while her husband works long hours, only adds to her anxiety.
    The characters are richly drawn, and we soon feel that we know them. Ms. Crow is a graphic storyteller, allowing us to picture in our mind's eye what she expresses in her words.

    This was easy to read and didn't take me long to finish it. It did keep me interested and wondering what would happen next. I didn't figure out who the stalker was so the ending was a surprise. A nice easy, entertaining read and is sure to make you want to keep on reading.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 20, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    This story started off well but kind of dragged through the middle. The reasoning for the events that happened was a little on the weak side and the Mike character was badly written. The fact that he was a lawyer but yet could be manipulated into throwing his marriage away so easily and not have picked up the hooker signs seemed a little implausible. Also, the editing needs work as there were times throughout the book where Holly was referred to by her daughter's name, Clare.The

    The ending was wrapped up far too quickly as if rushed but then, that is quite often the case with these kind of stories.

    All in all, not a bad story but not the best either. I would probably give this author the benefit of the doubt and read more books by her before judging.
