The Neighbor

The setting plays a big role in building suspense and trust. I'm curious if the author envisioned this as a commentary on suburban life or if it evolved naturally during writing.

The way everyone’s hiding something made me question how well we really know those next door. Did others pick up on subtle clues that hinted at darker secrets?

This storytelling choice added layers to the mystery, but I wonder if it was planned from the start or developed as the story unfolded.
