The Mother Next Door by Tara Laskowski

4.0

The Mother Next Door is just in time for Fall/Halloween, so if you're looking for something to put you in the mood for the season, this is a good way to go. It's more domestic drama/suspense than thriller in my opinion, but it certainly has all the right elements to draw you in and keep you guessing. The story does have a sinister, even kind of creepy, vibe, but it's not as dark as I expected from the blurb. I'll just throw it out there that I didn't much like any of the characters, but I really don't think we're supposed to, and that combined with some over-the-top moments made for a fun seasonal read. The book is well-written, and the storyline is perfect for curling up in your favorite chair for an entertaining weekend read.
