So, I don't consider myself much of a sleuth when I read these types of books.I am typically surprised by the outcome generally.This book had promise.There was a point where the reader knew things the detective didn't know, and we enjoy a kind of dramatic foreshadowing typically reserved for theatre.However, this mystery was pretty easy to solve too early on.Add this to the fact that neither of the "couple next door" were terribly empathetic characters, or even likeable, and it's a bit of a so-so read.The narration was fine, but the narrator didn't have much to work with here so it was kind of one-note.I was mildly interested in this plot for the first half of the book, and the ending was also interesting (no spoilers), but I'm not really recommending it.
