Summary
The Stranger Next Door by Debra Webb is a thriller that hooks you from the first pages. It was fascinating to watch as Cecelia acclimates to live outside of jail. She went to jail for the murder of her father when she was 19. The book opens as she is being released 8 years later.
Deacon is an FBI agent and the stranger next door. He has moved in beside her to find how what she knows about the disappearance of his mentor 8 years ago. I was not sure how the author was going to redeem Deacon. You feel that he is totally taking advantage of her as she is naïve and lonely from getting out of prison.
The suspects in this book are creepy and crazy. Cecelia’s family was a mess. I loved the relationship that she had with her grandmother.
Debra Webb is an author that will keep you guessing and a creator of creepy villains.
