Review: "Her Every Fear," by Peter Swanson

I'm rating this as "it was ok" because I don't really know how I feel about it. I was really into it for the first 100 pages. Then it switched perspectives and began alternating among five characters. I don't mind that setup in a book, but it's hard when you've already invested 100 pages in with one character before it starts alternating. The premise itself was intriguing - two cousins who've never met in person do a house swap for six months. A woman from England is swapping with her male cousin in Boston, but when she arrives at his apartment, she discovers that his next door neighbor has been murdered. Always assuming the worst, she worries that her cousin is the murderer. She's being very helpful to the police, but a few mysterious characters pop in to make her wonder more about her cousin's guilt. I love a good murder mystery, but this one kind of tells it like it is about halfway through rather than keeping you guessing.

Mrs. Denney's Rating: **
