Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore

5 Stars

I am so glad I added this book to the many I’ve already read by this author. This was such a simple read yet full of so much to keep you thinking all the way till the end. It was a one sitting read for me because I could not make myself put it down.

This author does a great job weaving a mystery with great characters and great storylines. This one had me all messed up jumping from one scenario to another and finally figuring it all out but loving how it played out, then thinking it was all cupcakes and unicorns from there on only to have another twist thrown in that for me personally came out of left field, never even occurred to me I guess because I was so focussed on the other part of the story. Loved it!! Well Played Miss Moore!

I loved Dawn, and her reactions to things were alot like I imagine mine would have been..but I think my favorites in the book aside from her would definitely have to be Jerome and Dorothy, and of course Scratch-off, he made me smile.

If I had one negative I would have loved another epilogue that included David, but I’ll just have to let my imagination figure that one out 🙂

Awesome and I highly recommend!

I have read a few books by this author now and I know that I am going to be in for an intriguing read and Somebody in the Neighbourhood was no exception. I was engaged form the very beginning until the end. There was a great level of suspense that ran through the book and I loved guessing what was going to happen. Ms Moore always manages to keep me guessing throughout her stories with some great twists and turns. I really liked Dawn – the main character in the story – she was determined to find out what had happened to her aunt. Alongside Dawn were some great secondary characters that I felt really added something to the story – they were all really well developed.
I would highly recommend Somebody in the Neighbourhood to anyone who loves a good crime story – I definitely don’t think you will be disappointed!

Somebody In the Neighborhood is a great 4 star murder mystery.
I was pulled in right from the beginning.

Dawn finds out that her aunt has been murdered, curiosity got the best of her and she looked at the pictures of her aunt. Now she can’t get the image out of her mind. Dawn ends up going with her parents to Florida to take care of her aunts things. While in Florida Dawn decides she wants to stay in Florida and live in her aunt’s house and find out what happened.

As Dawn starts to meet the neighbors things get very interesting. They all seem to have secrets of some sort and so much more.
Can Dawn trust any of them? Who is the murderer?

Overall I really enjoyed this book, I love it when a book has me guessing about who the killer is. There are several twists and turns. All of the characters added a great element to the story. Judy pulls you right in with her writing and you won’t want to put it down until your done. If your looking for a great murder mystery 1-click and get started today.

I have always found it easy to fall in love with Judy Moore’s crime and suspense novels every time I pick one up and this one, Somebody in the Neighborhood, is no different from the rest. I loved how this book flowed and kept me guessing all the way up until the last few scandalous chapters where everything falls into place perfectly like a grand jigsaw puzzle.

Somebody in the Neighborhood has us following a young woman named Dawn. We soon find out that her aunt has been murdered and she will be moving into the house she lived in to see if you can find out more information about how and why her aunt had to die. Things get extra dark and twisty as you find out that each of the neighbors are harboring secrets and possibly the identity of the true killer. Dawn will put everything at risk to find the answers. Things move super fast and evolve perfectly in this novel and I found myself done with it way before I wanted to be lol. I can see myself re-reading this one to look for things I might have missed the first time around, and it’s just that good I need more in my life of it. I look forward to seeing what the next intriguing suspense novel we will get from Judy Moore.

“Somebody in the Neighborhood” is a whodunit murder mystery filled with twists, turns, and drama. I found myself being suspicious of a lot of the characters for the murder of the main character, Dawn’s, aunt. I did end up guessing correctly who the murderer was, but the story ended perfectly with a twist. It definitely makes you wonder what secrets people, especially those you’re close to, have. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Somebody in the Neighbourhood by Judy Moore is a great mystery book that will definitely keep you reading.
This book was definitely suspenseful and intriguing. I found it interesting from the start when Dawn moved into her Aunts place. You knew that something was going on but couldn’t quite figure out what.
All the way through the book I was trying to guess at the outcome. The author does a great job of taking you on a journey full of twists and turns. This was a great book and one I enjoyed immensely. It is certainly worth your time.

Somebody In the Neighborhood is a murder mystery by Judy Moore. This is the third book of Ms. Moore’s that I have read, and I have enjoyed them all. The story is essentially a murder mystery, with a whodunit quality to the storyline. There is of course murder- intriguing mystery, some action, danger, plenty of suspense, drama, secrets, and surprising developments- which had me trying to predict the outcome and ‘whodunit’, before any revelations. But Ms. Moore once again kept me guessing through the entire book, twisting and turning the plot while I attempted to piece everything together to try to figure out what was going on. The story was quite detailed and descriptive, and really well woven. Ms. Moore had no problem leading me in any direction she required- while also enticing me further and further into her story. She built the suspense and tension superbly- and had me anticipating the outcome.
The characters were well developed, interesting and somewhat quirky individuals. They added to the whole ‘atmosphere’ of the story- and made it all the more intriguing.
Definitely looking forward to more from Ms. Moore!

Thank you, Judy Moore!

Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore is an awesome crime-thriller. I read the entire book in one sitting because it was that engaging. The plot had me guessing and looking for more clues. Each time I thought I had it figured out, there was a curve ball thrown and took me by surprise. I love that this story held my attention. It also creep me out a bit because I had the hair on my neck stand up multiple times. This is a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Are the people in your neighborhood watching you? Are the people in your neighborhood planning your death? Who in the neighborhood can you trust? Read this story to find out the answers to these questions.

This is quite the murder mystery story! It was a bit of a struggle at first. Once we met the neighbors the story started taking off. It was fast paced and I couldn’t put it down. Everything thing was woven in highlight the good and bad so I never could figure out who done it. Very well done!

This is my first book by this author. I enjoyed her story telling. It easily kept my interest and the characters were riveting.

Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore is full of surprises and is a mystery thriller with lots of twists and turns. There is murder and drama, fear and secrets. The characters are a little different and complex but well developed. The story gets you right from the beginning and slowly draws you in to the web of whodunit, where everyone seems to have interesting things to say about their neighbours. It is mainly set in south Florida where the neighbours seem nice but each have their own secrets to hide and each of them may be the killer. I loved Dorothy the oldest of the neighbours she cracked me up and I really wanted to stamp on Dawn’s mother, she got my goat up but that shows that Judy did a good job in writing them.

Dawn decides it time to leave the place that has been her home for 25 years. She needs a fresh start and definitely a new boss. When she sees her aunt’s house for the first time since she was murdered she decides this is where she wants to be. Dawn meets her neighbours and quickly learns there are some secrets they don’t want to share and some of them are quick to point their fingers.

Dawn’s fears soon become reality as the murderer comes to light but an unlikely hero comes to her rescue. When things settle down Dawn is given some truths that may change her life.

I enjoyed the story which will keep most guessing right to the end. I must admit I did work out who did it but it was still interesting to see if I was right or wrong because you never know what little twists and turns an author may add.

This is a page turner, who done it kind of story. It is a well developed story that I read in one sitting. It is engaging and the characters made the story realistic. I enjoyed how the characters are connectable, relateable and watching the growth of the story. You have three murders, who will be next is anyone’s guess. When I thought I had it figured out, another twist was added to the plot. I highly recommend this suspense, mystery story and find out for yourself who is the murderer.

The story Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore is a thrilling/mystery book. It is a story that pulled me in and had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. The author creates an atmosphere of suspense that will stay with you the entire story. I enjoyed both the storyline and reading about the character of Dawn Anderson. She is a young woman who has come to live at Manatee Beach after her aunt is murdered. She is looking to be out on her own. Dawn is an intelligent and kind person. She soon begins to socialize with those who live in the neighborhood. Who could have murdered her aunt? Is that person part of the neighborhood? Is Dawn also in danger? Read this book to find out. This is the second book that I have read by the author and I have found her to have the gift of crafting an amazing story. She kept me guessing until the end. Besides Dawn, there are several other characters that are introduced. Some of them are very kind and welcoming to Dawn and others I found myself wondering about. Don’t miss out on a mystery that you will not want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

From the first night that Dawn arrives in Florida, the feeling of uneasiness never leaves her. There’s the strange man next door who always seems to be watching her.

The Mother in Law by Judy Moore

Four Stars

That lady was a total witch. I understand wanting to protect your family but she was obsessed and extremely possessive. Victoria needs nerves of steel and an abundance of patience. This story had all the fears women thing about come to life. We all fear disappointment and never being enough. I didn’t like Brad a whole lot. He didn’t show any willingness to put a stop to his mom’s craziness. The author presented this story very well. The author included an softness and warmth but placing Victoria in a position where she had to care for a child that was not her own. A good read for some laughter and crazy.

The Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore
4 out of 5 Stars

This book is the physical manifestation of the fear every girl has when she is searching for her potential life long partner. Evil Mother-In-Law.. Victoria feels that she has got it all. Handsome man, handsome house, handsome life, or so she thinks, until she meets her mother-in-law…who is straight up evil. I mean, there is Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th Evil and then there is this woman. This book is incredibly suspenseful. As the plot thickens and the details unravel, you will find yourself flipping, (or in my case tapping) the pages faster and faster to find out what happens. When secrets of Brad and his Mother start to unfurl, Victoria starts to understand that this isn’t at all what she signed up for when she said Till death do us part.

This author created a very suspenseful and detailed story. I was drawn in from the very first chapter. I loved every last minute of it. Highly recommended.

The Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore was a suspenseful read that kept you on the edge of your seat. At times, I could not turn that pages quick enough to see what was to happen next – I was completely involved in the continuing story. Victoria and Brad had a love that couldn’t be ignored and they both grabbed on to it and pursued that relationship to it’s fullest. The drama immediately begins as they moved forward to spend their lives together – enter the mother-in-law. Judy Moore has given the allure of evil incarnate in this story in the form of a mother-in-law. However, not everyone sees the facade that is seen from the outside. The story continues to build and you really don’t know which way the author will have the story climb to until it all comes to a peak. Truly a well written suspense with a remarkable ending.

I give The Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore, 4 stars.

Victoria can’t believe what she just did. She got married to a man she’s only known about a month — in Vegas no less! But there is something about Brad. She fell in love with him right away and goes with her instinct. So she says I Do, quits her job and packs up her former life to move across the country to Florida. She knows Brad has a son and a mother and she is anxious to meet them both. She quickly realized that she jumped in without looking. Brad’s mother is a piece of work. She can’t seem to let Brad go. Is it just the pain of him some belonging to someone else? Or does go much deeper than that?

This was an interesting book. I have to admit, I didn’t know just what to expect. The “evil mother-in-law” has been done many times. But this book does it with a twist. I can’t really say too much without giving anything away, but the ending was surprising and yet satisfying too. The characters were very realistic. I could them being a family I read about in the newspaper.

A suspenseful, gripping story, I highly recommend this book.

4 Stars!!!!

I literally had chills reading this book. The author has really written a very twisted spine chilling book
that makes my mother-in-law look tame. I really found this author’s writing style to be refreshing and a step out of my comfort genre was really nice.

The characters are very relatable. I found myself drawn into the world and it felt as though I was Victoria. I really could relate with a mother-in-law who doesn’t like the wife, but this one really made me see just how fortunate I was. This book is very well written and all be it twisted with the plot it was a great read. I admit I don’t normally go for this type of book but I was very glad to have read it and gotten out of my normal genre. I would read more from this author in future.

The Mother in Law is a great read from Judy Moore. This is my first book from this author, and after reading this book I would definitely buy more of her work.
I found the book to be a little slow to begin with, as the author laid the foundations to the story- there was some information that really wasn’t needed, a lot of details that slowed the flow and just seemed to draw out/prolong the lead up into the story. The book is promoted as a thriller, but I felt that it was more ‘suspenseful’ and didn’t quite make it to thrilling, because there needed to be more tension, drama, intrigue and gripping developments earlier on in the plot to make it a true ‘thrilling’ experience. Having said that though, this story is still very good, and I would recommend it as I did enjoy reading it. I was shocked at how evil, conniving, deceitful and vicious the mother in law was, and the last half of the book held my attention completely as the story unfolded.
I was rooting for Victoria, Brad and Andy- but Brad frustrated me at times when he couldn’t see how his mother was manipulating everything and everyone. Even when things were revealed, he still didn’t take real decisive action. I just wanted to shake him and tell him to get his act together.
I look forward to reading more from Ms. Moore in the future.

Thank you, Ms. Moore!

The Mother In Law by Judy Moore was so much more than the synopsis indicated. I believe there were a few times when I actually gasped while reading it, especially at the end. What an ending it was too. I’m not sure what I was expecting before I read this book but it was beyond anything I could have expected or imagined.

There are so many things I could say about the characters and the story itself but I don’t know if I would be able to do it justice with my description and I’m afraid of spoiling something. This is a love story with many layers of others things.

This book is a must read if you like love with some mystery and a lot of oh my goodness.

The Mother-in-Law was a thrilling and creepy 5 star read.

Victoria and Brad met in Las Vegas during training and end up with a quicky wedding. Brad takes Victoria home to Florida where she meets his mom and son, Andy. Lets just say his mother is quite interesting.

The home they have is right on the beach and is beautiful. Victoria is ready to move forward with her new family, but mother has other plans. And she finds out from Brad that mommie dearest owns the house they are all living in she is not happy. This could not be happening -Victoria

Things seem to go well for awhile than all heck breaks loose. Be prepared for some twists and turns and edge of your seat moments. I was floored at some of the things that happened.

I instantly disliked Brad’s mother, she was controlling and evil. I didn’t like how she treated Andy at all. Brad also pushed my buttons as well, it was like he just didn’t get what was happening at times and he needed a backbone when it came to his mother. The ending OMG, I didn’t see any of it coming. This is my first read from Judy Moore and I was pulled right in, I can’t wait to read more from her.

My Rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore was an okay read about how boundaries can get blurry and how obsession can turn deadly.

Not my first read by this author, so I was excited to get my hands on this read. It played out kind of how I expected but still a pretty okay read overall.

I have to say, I wasn’t as drawn in as I was with this author’s other works. For a fast read, I found the build up a little too blunt and straightforward, and there wasn’t much mystery. There was so much that could have been done, and for me, this read kind of missed the mark.

The overall plot was good, I liked the characters, the twist, turns and, I very much liked the ending. There is a bit of a creep factor and, I think with a bit more work this book can rise up from just being an okay read to, something special. The actual writing is pretty good, a little choppy here and there, but I liked the flow and tone. Right away you know this isn’t going to be light hearted, and once the actual sinister plot got under way, I enjoyed the story that much more.

Overall this book has promise, and I do recommend you give it a go. Like I said the plot is good, and the twist and turns are engaging and interesting. Though I have mixed feelings, you might have a completely different reaction. So please take my recommendation and my approval, that this book will give you the creep factor and have you questioning when a seemly platonic relationship is normal, or abnormal.

Happy Reading

THE MOTHER-IN-LAW is a super quick read and I was able to speed right through it. It is a little predictable, but I assumed that going into it. I read the blurb before picking up the book so knew what the story was about. Therre were no surprises as the book developed.

The stories gets to the point right away, everything is laid out clearly and concisely so I wasn’t bogged down by too much detail and it kept me entertained from beginning to end.

I would read this author again and I recommend this story if you are looking for a quick suspense.

Wow I absolutely devoured this book. I was intrigued from the moment I picked this one up until the very last page. It was one of those story’s that had me on the edge of my seat and more often than not I was surprised at how thing were being played out. All is well and perfect for Victoria. She had a new husband and will soon be in a new home and in a new town. And all seems like a wonderful dream. That is until she meets her mother in law. And life is turned upside down and into a nightmare. This book was suspensful and had well developed characters and I was pulled in by the plot the moment I read the book description.

I am an absolute sucker for clickbait lists and horrible mother in law stories are some of my favorite. So obviously I saw this book was immediately like “I need this”. Maybe I like stuff like this so much because my mother in law is one of the sweetest women I’ve ever met. IDK
My first thought in this was why would anyone ever get married after knowing someone for only a month? My husband and I got married after dating for 8 years! Victoria just decides she’s ready to be a wife and a mother? Girl is entitled to her opinion but the mother in law she didn’t know was going to be living with sure made her question that decision. Victoria gets tangled in the web of lies that Madeline is weaving, while Brad remains willfully ignorant. There were so many times I just wanted to shake Victoria by her shoulders and tell her to drop everything and leave that house while she still could of her own will!
I definitely got just a pinch of Skeleton Key and Norman Bates in this book and I would recommend it to almost anyone.

The Mother-in-Law
By Judy Moore

I was drawn into this story of suspense as soon as I started reading. Victoria is a very relatable character and she just wants to be accepted into her new husband’s life and family, and I think most of us can relate to that. As soon as Victoria meets her new mother in law she notices how uptight she seems and not very friendly. As the story continues there are disturbing family secrets revealed and you can’t help but to keep turning the pages to find out what’s going to happen. How far will Madeline go to sabotage her son’s new marriage. This is a must read it will keep you on the edge of your seat through the entire story. I highly recommend this book.

I finished this book yesterday and had to let my mind process what I read before I wrote this review. This is my second book by this author and I think I have some of the same feelings as after finishing the first one I read. Definitely a great mystery involving some of the characters in this story and even though it had a whirlwind romance involved, the way it was written made it feel very real, not forced.

I lost my mother-in-law a few years back and our relationship was never the greatest since I took her youngest of 7 sons, it still made me wish I could hug her by the time I finished reading this story. I guess the only seriously confusing part was, why in the heck did it take Victoria so long to make the decisions she made. I wouldn’t have lasted a day!

I’m not going to go into any detail regarding this story..You have to read it to truly appreciate it, and I can absolutely see this book becoming a made for TV movie. The ending had me wanting to scream, throw my kindle, and cry all at the same time.

This author has become someone I look forward to reading. She messes with your mind and you don’t even realize it is happening while your reading. I Love That.

Can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next!

This was a one sitting read for me…Loved It!!

The Mother-in-LawThe Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore is a suspense thriller novel that would be more aptly titled monster-in-law. This book is the perfect poster child for why you should never marry someone that you haven’t known more than a month. Which is exactly what Victoria does. Too her it was a fairy tale; she found true love and put a ring on it as fast as she could. But not all fairy tales have a happy ending, especially if there’s an estranged mother-in-law.
This was slow thriller book. It took a long time for suspense to build and motivations to be revealed, which after a while began to drag. I wish there was more suspense to this book, and there was more of a payoff in the end. A lot of the chapters felt as though they were acting as fillers to make the book chunkier, and didn’t add anything to the plot. Especially when comparing this book to Judy Moore’s Murder in the Vail, which had me hooked from the very beginning. In the end I found that I had no real connection to any of the characters, and their relationships didn’t affect me. Which truly is a shame, as I fell in love with the premise of the story, thinking I was in for book filled to the brim with suspense, but instead it all fell flat for me. I still loved the writing, and level of detail that went into in the book, as well as thought the idea was very creative, it just could have been executed a bit better. Alas, I still look forward to reading more from Judy Moore in the future.
