The Couple Next Door

The book was enjoyable overall, but I found the ending to be confusing. One of the characters, who was involved in another person's plan and helped carry it out, managed to avoid any consequences. This inconsistency left me feeling puzzled in a negative way. I would have liked it more if this character had faced the same outcome as the main mastermind. To be honest, I didn't expect this and found it illogical. However, there were a few plot twists that were well done, although I can't discuss them further without giving away spoilers. On another note, I was disappointed with how the wife's character was portrayed as a helpless damsel in distress, rather than as someone dealing with postpartum depression. In my opinion, her character lacked proper development and depth.
