Someone We Know by Shari Lapena
4.0
After a few heavier reads, I'd been craving what I think of as a "lighter thriller" - that is, a thriller that doesn't move at a breakneck pace or feature overly disturbing content. I picked up Shari Lapena's latest book, Someone We Know, thinking it would be just the thing. Happily, it was.
There's something so cozy to me about Shari Lapena's books. I think part of it is the fact that she writes domestic thrillers, so we get to see all the little quirks in personality in the key players. I felt that was especially true here since it's a neighborhood mystery. I did find it a bit predictable, but to be honest, that's what I wanted for this particular read, and I think that actually added to the cozy factor. It was a case of the right read at the right time, and that's always a good thing.
