A hotshot lawyer with the world at her feet. A stranger determined to destroy her.
Hotshot defense lawyer Amber Dennis has it all. She's a successful attorney and the proud owner of a luxurious new condo, an expensive car, and a fat bank account. Not to mention a blossoming relationship with the gorgeous David Grant.
Amber's perfect life is shattered when she starts receiving threatening emails. At first, she brushes them off. After all, she can't help but make a few enemies in her line of work.
But when the threats become more real, she can no longer ignore them. Someone out there wants to destroy her. Who could it be, and why are they targeting her?
As her world implodes, Amber decides she's not going down without a fight. She's determined to find out who is threatening her and why.
What she doesn’t realise is her stalker is a lot closer than she thinks. And convinced that Amber has wronged them terribly, they'll stop at nothing to make her pay the ultimate price.
The Couple Next Door is a nail-biting psychological thriller that packs a powerful punch.
Have you ever read a book where you couldn’t stand the MC at all? This is the book for you! I could not stand Amber! Every time she spoke I gritted my teeth, she riled me. She was superficial, a brat and so so so entitled! Despite this, and the way she spoke to every single person I didn’t feel she deserved what was happening. No matter how many times she repeated herself and held a pity party!
I’ve read quite a few books by Mr. Baxter now, so I have learned the ways his books are constructed and how he likes to throw the red herrings out there. There are a few so keep your eyes peeled!
Despite my feelings towards Amber, I still found these pages to be turning as I wanted to get to the bottom of this destruction we have laid out in front of us. It was most definitely an entertaining turn of events and not one I think I have read before. There is definitely a message too, of learning from our mistakes, just a shame not everyone can do that!!
This book will play with your head, as you watch a strong independent career woman completely unravel in front of you. It plays out so well too.
Until the next time xxx

Oh you really didn’t like Amber!! Great review, Zoé. I know there are some books with the same title, but I’m a bit surprised that this one shares its name with such a well known thriller!
Zoé O'Farrell says
