A great read that kept me up at night wondering how I would react if a murdered lived next door to me.

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the Worst!, March 16, 2008

This review is from: The Murderer Next Door (Mass Market Paperback)

This is, by far, one of the worst books I have ever read. The plot line is so illogical. Why a sharp, intelligent woman would be interested in leaving her husband for such a creep is not credible to me. I kept thinking the book would get better as I progressed, but it never did. Don't waste your time.
