A review by the_novel_reader
The Child Next Door by Shalini Boland

4.0

I quite enjoyed this book. It was well written and the characters were well developed and thought out. Ms. Boland seems to have found her niche, she writes psychological thrillers with such ease and brilliance. I was captivated by this story, I could not put it down! Every time I felt like I knew what was going on, Ms. Boland threw a curve ball. This book was suspenseful and full of intrigue. At times, I felt the internal dialogue of Kirstie was a bit much, it felt bogged down. I found myself skipping quite a few of her “rants”. Overal, I thought this book was well executed and I look forward to reading more of her works.
