4 Stars from me
Wow! To say this book ‘packs a punch’ is such an understatement – it more ‘smacks you around the head with a 9 iron!’
The Good Neighbor starts off softly, albeit with a traumatic and shocking event – 14 year old Brittany has disappeared during the night, seemingly snatched from her bed. I have to confess I was lulled into thinking it would jog along nicely so boy was I taken by surprise!
The pace accelerates and accelerates before plunging you into free fall as more and more of the story is revealed. There were twists and turns around every corner all neatly packaged within this highly readable tale.
Be warned though, there are several moral questions hidden within these pages… Would you? Could you? How far would you go if you were in Taylor’s shoes, Moira’s shoes, Crystal’s shoes, Brittany’s shoes?
I haven’t read anything by Cathryn Grant before but she is certainly an author I will look out for now!

Synopsis: Sometimes the past just won’t stay buried.
When 14 year old Brittany Cushing disappears one night, her parents are devastated, certain she has been taken.
They can’t bear to think about who has done this and why, about what might be happening to their precious daughter.
Their neighbor, Taylor, is a rock, doing everything she can to help – organizing search parties, setting up a Facebook page, …
As this affluent California community becomes focused on the hunt for the missing girl, it slowly becomes clear that her disappearance is linked to terrible secrets from the past.
Secrets that must be kept hidden at all costs….
The Good Neighbor is a gripping psychological thriller that twists and turns as it races towards its nerve-shredding climax. Perfect for fans of K. L. Slater, Teresa Driscoll and Mark Edwards.
