The Neighbor by: Lisa Gardner

Review:  In the beginning I found this book to be a bit mellow compared to Gardner's other works. However near the middle I started making connections to another book by Gardner, one of my favorites of hers.  That idea drew me right in.  Being a huge fan of Gardner's I have read everything she has written, but not realizing most of them had an order I read whatever one I could get my hands on at the library. The Neighbor is one of her newer books and I had read everything else prior to picking up this book, thank God! It was amazing when the light went on in my head and I made that connection.  That made me appreciate the book on a whole new level. 
   For those of you interested, read Say Goodbye first.  Say Goodbye was terrifying and one of my favorites (that review will come another time though). I highly recommend reading these books, although honestly, I recommend everything by Lisa Gardner. 

Synopsis:  A wife suddenly goes missing from her home, and the only person who was there is her 4 year old daughter.  The husband becomes a prime suspect as he begins to hide evidence and doesn't seem to want to help police officers find his wife.  On the outside they look like the perfect couple, but Detective DD Warren begins to pull at the threads unraveling more than she ever dreamed possible.
