2025-08-13 -- The Family Across the Street
==========================================
Well, that was unexpected.
It usually takes me at least a month, sometimes years, to finish a book.
I read very slowly. Not this time. I was racing through this in *a
week*, which is crazy fast by my standards.
"Psychological thrillers" don't work for me - yet - when they are books.
I'm probably too used to movies and their *soundtrack*. Music is very
important to get an eery, spooky experience, I think. Maybe I just need
to put on some soundtrack on headphones myself. :-) Either way, this was
a great story, very captivating and exciting. I don't think I've ever
read 80 pages of something in one go because I really wanted to know
what comes next.
Can't really say much about the plot. That would spoil it.
I read the German translation but I guess the original is just as good.
Recommended!
