Jess, Erin, Melissa and Chantelle. Born in the same year and hot summer season. Meant to be together and maybe famous too, as their birth was mentioned in the local media. Thirty years after, they are still living in Larkspur Close and are as close as sisters may be. Time has passed, they are adults now doing adult things. But in between news about jobs and business, Chantelle is coping with a dramatic family situation: her husband is cheating on her. But shortly after sharing with few chosen one this secret, the cheater is found death. Does this tragical event have anything to do with her confession?
Anita Waller is an author I´ve featured before on my blog and I am glad to have been given the opportunity to continue exploring her writing.
I really enjoyed the psychological thriller taking place in the context of a girls´ friendship. The thriller part is growing up from one stage of the story to another, in a progression that is just advancing simply once the story is developing. It is like telling a story about four girls, one of which is hit by a family tragedy. The story is more important than its details and this is just one of the many merits of this book.
I´ve found the ending very intelligent and rather unexpected.
I am definitely in to discover more psychological thrillers, or just novels, by Anita Waller and The Girls Next Door is definitely a book to remember.
Rating: 4 stars
