Before She Knew Him

I totally loved this book. Hen and her husband, Lloyd, moved into a quiet life in a suburban house outside of Boston. Her neighbor invites them over for dinner. She spots a familiar object in the husband's office that is connected to a killing that happened years ago. She immediately claims that he is a murderer. Could her neighbor Matthew be a killer? Then one night, when she comes face-to-face with Matthew in the dark, she realizes that he knows she's been watching him, that she is on to him. And that this is the start of a horrifying nightmare she may not live to escape. There are lots of twists that happen and make me read to the very shocking end. A tantalizing story of obsession and manipulation and is sure to please a lover of psychological suspense. I'm looking forward to my next Peter Swanson book.
