Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore – Review by Elizabeth Clark

Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore is a book full of mystery, suspense and interesting characters. This book is well written and the amount of detail will make you think you are actually inside the book.

Somebody in the Neighborhood is about a young woman Dawn who moves to Florida into her recently deceased Aunt’s house. Dawn’s Aunt Amy is the 2nd murder victim in the small Florida community. With the killer still unknown Dawn finds suspicious characters all around her. While reading this book I thought I knew who the killer was until the next chapter and I would think it was someone else. This author did a fantastic job writing this book. I liked her characters and found myself turning pages as fast as possible so I could figure out who the killer was.

This book is more than just a murder mystery it is also a story about a young woman growing into her own. Watching Dawn grow throughout the book was beautiful and inspiring. Dawn becomes an independent, strong woman ready to take on the world. I enjoyed reading this book and reading Dawn’s story.

And you will never guess who the killer is..

4 Stars

Somebody in the Neighborhood is a murder mystery. I don’t usually read these types of books but I enjoyed this one. Dawn’s Aunt Amy gets murdered and needing a change, she decides to move down to Florida into her aunt’s home. It might not have been the smartest decision seeing as Dawn fits the description of the victims, pretty and blonde. Dawn loves the sun and the beach is nearby but she has to deal with her strange new environment. Her next door neighbour keeps watching her, some of the others seem too interested in her aunt and she has a creepy mailman who is way too friendly for her tastes. After doing a little investigating on her own, Dawn realizes that she’s in trouble, the killer is someone in the neighborhood.

The thing I liked best about this book was that the author kept me guessing until the grand reveal. The story was well written with enough twists to keep you interested. Suspense, drama and quirky characters made this a wonderful read.

There is a lot to say about Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore, that follows the story of Dawn’s life after suffering the loss of her aunt, Amy. Dawn, much like her aunt, is an eccentric, “born to late”, wild card. Seeking independence from a her seemingly suffocating parents, Dawn moves to florida.

This book is honestly ranked in my top 10 reads, Judy doesn’t miss a single detail! Her story unfolds beautifully from beginning to end, and is a definite must read! A five star rating for a 5 star book!

Ok this author has done it again! I think I know the answer and I’m wrong. This book had me hooked. Dawn feels a connection to her aunts house in Florida so she makes the decision to move there after she’s murdered. Things start to happen and she come to the conclusion that the suspect they have in custody isn’t the right person. I couldn’t put this down as I just had to know and boy was I wrong on my first guess.
Great book!

I give Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore, 4 stars.

I really enjoyed this book. I thought Dawn was a great main character and I understood her thoughts and needs perfectly. She needed to get away and start over, and her aunt’s house was the perfect place. The neighborhood had the type of people you would expect in a small town type atmosphere. While you don’t always agree with them, they do really exist. I liked how each person was different too, not just cookie cutter placements.

The whole book is shrouded in suspense as you try to figure out who is killing and why. There are things happening throughout the book to keep you involved too. The list of suspects is quite long, and so many people could be the suspect. I was pleasantly surprised by the actual killer, it wasn’t one of my top suspects.

This is a great whodunit suspense set in a small Florida cul-de-sac that offers an interesting story and unique characters. If this is your type of book, I highly recommend that you pick this book up.

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?

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.

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.
