I should be somewhat ashamed to say that the first book I read in 2019 is The Couple Next Door by Shri Lapena. It is a plot driven page turner / thriller focusing on the unraveling of a kidnapping. Although often compare to them, it does not in the same category of quality as Gone Girl or The Girl on The Train. There is very little character development, and what there is does not seem real or particularly well crafted. Because of this, the various twists just come out of nowhere, with some being guessed at from miles a why from first principles.
Still, I read it.
