My rating is between a 4 and 5. It is a 5 because I did not want to put this book down. I read so many books, but feel that way about so few. The entire premise is twisted, with murder for thrill and voyeurism. Somehow Swanson creates sympathetic characters: is it really so odd to watch one's neighbor? I enjoyed the switchbacks. Just as the book is getting good from one viewpoint, the story switches back and from another viewpoint. The author does this effortlessly. I just couldn't get past that one person (Kate) could have so many dangerous, creepy characters enter her life, hence the four stars. Enough sex and violence to make the book a thriller, but not so much as to be gratuitous. Book received in goodreads contest with expectation of fair/unbiased review
