The Couple Next Door

 In this story Anne and Marco seem like the perfect couple. They live in an expensive row house and have a six month old baby with blond hair and blue eyes named Cora. They are invited to a party with the couple next door with whom they share a common wall. The babysitter cancels at the last minute. Anne wants to stay home but Marco persuades her to go. They bring the baby monitor and check on the child every half hour. At the 1 a.m. check the baby is missing. Cora is no where to be found. The police investigate and Detective Raubach suspects the parents had something to do with the crime. This story had an unbelievable amount of double crossing, criminal type people in the same social circle. The story was riveting but the characters in the tale are not likable. If most people were like the people in The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena, I would not want to make their acquaintance.
