Growing up, Kate Priddy was always a bit neurotic, experiencing momentary bouts of anxiety that exploded into full blown panic attacks after an ex-boyfriend kidnapped her and nearly ended her life. When Corbin Dell, a distant cousin in Boston, suggests the two temporarily swap apartments, Kate, an art student in London, agrees, hoping that time away in a new place will help her overcome the recent wreckage of her life. But soon after her arrival at Corbin's grand apartment on Beacon Hill, Kate makes a shocking discovery: his next-door neighbor, a young woman named Audrey Marshall, has been murdered.

A perfect serial killer and it's also written in his point of view, which i read it for first time.
Kate with past trauma and having frequent panic attacks about the specific event who moves from London to Boston by switching her apartment to her cousin Corbin. But the swapping made her to think it's a wrong decision because of the murder from her neighbor's. What will she do?
Peter gave me the shadowy reveal of the main killer by showing the side character from the beginning of the story. They both share some same similarities. Also the author revealed the killer in the halfway of the book itself. But still kept the mystery throughout the end. There were two parts. The whole second part dedicated to the psychotic killer's POV which made me to grip to the book without dropping it down. But i felt it was over explaining oflittle little things like ‘he sat down and drank the milk'.. and after touching the happy end, author extended the pages with no need.
Another thing that bothered me was that this book was written in 2017, where social media messaging and tech was in high. But the characters communication was email messaging and writing letters. That made me wonder why?! But i enjoyed very well over all. Best mystery of 2021 for me.
