The Locked Attic by B. P. Walter (HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter)

For Stephanie, life in an affluent neighborhood after a family tragedy turns into self-searching, and at the same time, an investigation into her husband and son's past actions and behavior. And what do the neighbors have to do with all this, since the two sons were friends at first, but then they suddenly drifted apart? Why?

As Stephanie begins to unravel the mysteries, the neighbor's family also begins to behave more sinisterly and weirdly.

The novel is tense and dynamic from beginning to end, with many twists and turns, the characters are also full of emotions and thoughts, although not all of them are as well described and researched as they could be so that the reader can better understand their actions, instincts, and creepiness. 

The love between young adults is described realistically, but at the same time with a sense of tenderness and understanding of teenagers.

Overall, a good read for an evening.
