About this deal

Making things that much more interesting is the fact that Raleigh Sharpe may have discovered something on the Pierces’ computer that could help uncover the murderer. Now residing with his wife and 7-year-old daughter (and 3 cats) in Central Florida, Ray spends his non-reading and performing time making 'magic' as an Entertainment Leader with the Disney Corporation at Walt Disney World.

Attending a number of events as well, she is also very well known as a spokesperson for her craft as well. Another top-notch read from Shari Lapena, who has definitely firmly supplanted herself in the domestic suspense genre and is enjoying the accolades that have deservedly followed. Someone We Know is definitely going to entertain audiences—whether you can handle thriller novels are not.With a clear eye for character and story, she was able to combine the two with her insightful take upon the genre. There’s no better way to learn about your characters than to put them in a situation of conflict and see how they react. Heavner isn’t exactly mollified when Tempe, aided by retired police detective Skinny Slidell and a host of experts, puts a name to the dead man. We get to know a lot about each of the neighbors in this tight-knit community, and each person is very different from the other. I was really excited about this thriller because I love Shari Lapena and the story started off so promising.

Shari Lapena is the internationally bestselling author of the thrillers The Couple Next Door, A Stranger in the House, An Unwanted Guest, Someone We Know, The End of Her, Not a Happy Family and Everyone Here is Lying which have all been Sunday Times and New York Times bestsellers. It was inspired by something I saw on the internet about a kid breaking into someone’s house in the middle of the night to use their wi-fi. 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. Lapena’s prose is tight and the chapters unfold in staccato, unnerving and mirroring the hurried and scattered thoughts of the characters. The reader begins to jump to conclusions as much as the neighbors do until the final reveal confirms our worst suspicions: that we don’t really know our neighbors at all.I would like to thank Edelweiss, Pamala Dorman Books and Shari Lapena for allowing me to read a digital ARC in exchange for a candid review!

Brooks places the epicenter of the Bigfoot war in a high-tech hideaway populated by the kind of people you might find in a Jurassic Park franchise: the schmo who doesn’t know how to do much of anything but tries anyway, the well-intentioned bleeding heart, the know-it-all intellectual who turns out to know the wrong things, the immigrant with a tough backstory and an instinct for survival. Conducting readings of her work she reaches a whole variety of different audiences and readers with her material. A bored and lonely housewife gets infatuated with a much younger neighbour after he shows her a morsel of attention. The anonymous letters she has secretly sent her neighbours have enormous repurcussions on the life of everybody in this close-knit suburban neighbourhood, because everybody here has their own secrets. Raleigh is honing his skills as a hacker, and likes to sneak into people's homes and snoop through their computers.Yes, some of these concepts were played up a bit for the drama, but it wasn't like those two dummies from Never Lie crashing in an abandoned home and eating mysteriously fresh food from the fridge. Brooks presents a case for making room for Bigfoot in the world while peppering his narrative with timely social criticism about bad behavior on the human side of the conflict: The explosion of Rainier might have been better forecast had the president not slashed the budget of the U.
