USA Today's top 100 books to read while stuck at home social distancing
"No-one does suburban paranoia like Shari Lapena--this slowly unfurling nightmare will have you biting your nails until the end."
--Ruth Ware, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in Cabin 10
The new domestic suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door, A Stranger in the House, and An Unwanted Guest, Shari Lapena
Maybe you don't know your neighbors as well as you thought you did . . .
"This is a very difficult letter to write. I hope you will not hate us too much. . . My son broke into your home recently while you were out."
In a quiet, leafy suburb in upstate New York, a teenager has been sneaking into houses--and into the owners' computers as well--learning their secrets, and maybe sharing some of them, too.
Who is he, and what might he have uncovered? After two anonymous letters are received, whispers start to circulate, and suspicion mounts. And when a woman down the street is found murdered, the tension reaches the breaking point. Who killed her? Who knows more than they're telling? And how far will all these very nice people go to protect their own secrets?
In this neighborhood, it's not just the husbands and wives who play games. Here, everyone in the family has something to hide . . .
You never really know what people are capable of.

It has been too long since I read my last book by Shari Lapena. I missed the feeling.
. Someone We Know was again a lovely suburban neighboorhood read. Even with multiple POVs I was able to completely zone into the plot and immerse myself in it. I had multiple theories throughout the book and the twists were nice and well plotted. šŖšµš 3.5 š¦šš®šæš? ā All in all this was a very fast and entertaining read. Sadly it became a bit clear who was involved in the final plot twist early on. At around 40% of the book I already had a solid guess. Apart from that it is definitely a recommendable and very good read.
