The Girl BeforeThe Girl Before by J.P. Delaney

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Emma and Jane are both looking for new places to live after experiencing personal tragedy. They both respond, at different times, to a real estate listing for the same house. The owner has an exacting application process and high expectations for each tenant. The two women are accepted, and from then on, Jane's life is inexorably intertwined with Emma's.

This is one of the best psychological thrillers I have read. Never certain what might happen next, I wanted to continue reading. I had many surprises as I read. That is one of the things that made THE GIRL BEFORE so interesting. And the ending too, is surprising. Part of this book has to do with minimalist living, and that is a subject that also interests me.
