This book was a quick and entertaining read. I related to the main character in a lot of ways, so that was a bonus. The plot was a great idea, but the execution wasn't exactly what I was hoping for.
I wanted there to be more suspense with the idea that the neighbor was a serial killer, instead of a silly misunderstanding based on absolutely nothing but the main character's apparently wild imagination. I understand why she was like that, but it didn't make me as a the reader believe for a second that he displayed any traits of a serial killer.
The spice was okay. It didn't add or take away from the story.
