Suspense filled suburban mystery. Who's the person sitting in the strange car that keeps parking in the neighborhood? What is the story with the new neighbors across the street and the obvious drama within their family? I couldn't stop reading, had to see what happened next!

Daughter of a scummy millionaire, Phoebe Miller has become a willing hermit in her own home. She seems to lack friends and an overall sense of purpose in her life. She's "let herself go", but decides to branch out when she realizes her new neighbors have a very attractive eighteen-year-old son, Jake. Although this Mrs. Miller is married to Wyatt, a therapist, she doesn't feel fulfilled. This begins to change as her friendship with Jakes's mom, Vicki, grows -- as does her sexual relationship with Jake. But this novel isn't called Mrs. Miller; Allison Dickson has wisely titled it: The Other Mrs. Miller. Twists and turns abound in this suspenseful debut!

Phoebe Miller is tired of the mundane life she leads, until she meets her new neighbors, the Napiers, and is immediately taken with their barely legal 18-year-old son. Phoebe gets entangled with them and suddenly her life becomes a thousand times more interesting than she ever imagined.

Slam-bang debut that should appeal to fans of Lori Rader-Day. You're cruising along and BAM the first half ends and, damn, it's a whole different book. Nice touches of Hitchcock and the last third of the book put me in the mind of Agatha Christie's "10 Little Indians." There's a lie on the table and everyone knows it's a lie and whoever cracks first is probably the killer. Probably . . . Totally recommended to fans of domestic suspense.

I received an ARC of this novel from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Fun mystery novel about two families in which all of the members are seriously flawed people. When murders occur, it could conceivably be any one of them.

Oooh I loved this book! This is like reading some really juicy gossip- you know you love it! If you are a fan of Shari Lapena, I recommend this book. It keeps you hanging on and wanting to know the inner-most details of the characters' lives and goings-on.

Thanks to Net Galley for the chance to read this book and review it!

Phoebe Miller is dying of boredom in the suburbs. She's got a bit of refuge there from the embarrassment of her famous, rich (and recently deceased) father's scandalous behaviour, but her life mostly consists of drinking wine and staring out her window at a car parked outside her house. She thinks she's acquired a stalker, and that's the most exciting thing that's happened in awhile.

Until the new neighbors move in. Her and bubbly, gossipy Vicki become fast friends, and Phoebe's life brightens considerably. Despite the fact that her marriage has grown stale and her husband won't give up on wanting kids, she's energized, and even considering a dalliance with Vicki's attractive college bound son.

When things start to get tense in Vicki's home life, Phoebe starts to get an inkling that something is really wrong. Her new friend just might not be who Phoebe thought she was, and her stalker is also starting to really rattle her.

Dickson's tale of a former socialite whose life takes an abrupt and scary turn is inventive, clever, and a really fun read. It surprises with a turn you won't see coming, and her snappy turn of phrase makes for an easy page-turner that will be perfect to take with you on your summer vacation--or stay up late into the night reading.

Delightful and clever. I've heard she's already working on her next novel, and I'm definitely looking forward to see what she come up with next.

Oh my. Twists and turns until the very, very end. Cleverly crafted and deeply entangled, a small cul-de-sac in the Lake Forest district of Chicago quickly turns into a very twisted neighborhood.
If you loved The Other Woman, The Couple Next Door or just want a twisted read....add this one to your list!
A good podcast to listen to while you wait for this one to come out....Dr. Death! Don't worry, that little tidbit doesn't spoil this story one bit!

Actual stars...4.25

Secrets and lies in the neighborhood. When the new neighbors move in Phoebe's life is changed in ways she never imagined. But what is going on with the car that she keeps seeing parked on her block? Secrets are dangerous and life changing and they will keep you reading as you try to figure out the truth.

A psychological thriller with twists you never expect. The stranger watching Mrs. Miller isn't who she expected. The new neighbors across the street aren't either. She may become best friends with the new neighbor and a little too close with the son...Then the Other Mrs. Miller has to step in.
A thriller that I could not put down. I will highly recommend this to our patrons.

Several major plot holes and problems with characterization. I only finished it because it was so bizarre.

Right off the bat, I need to say that this book is an absolute MUST READ!!! The Other Mrs. Miller is a suspense filled thriller that will shock you at every turn! Allison Dickson did an epic job of creating a storyline that you will find utterly addictive! I enjoyed how Allison Dickson had me guessing the who, what, where and why the entire way through! And in all honesty, I thought I had it all pretty much figured out, but I definitely did not— I love when a novel can shock me! The Other Mrs. Miller is a 5 star read! After finishing this book I went to look up Allison Dickson’s prior novels and I was floored to learn this is her debut novel!!!! I will be 100% 1-clicking anything she comes out with in the future! This book is absolutely on my 2019 favorites list!

Chilling from the opening pages a mysterious beat up car appearing in a wealthy Range Rover type neighborhood why does it keep appearing who is it stalking.A woman who basically is a recluse a very wealthy young woman her husband who wants them to have a child something she has no interest in and so this twisty tense.
