Did finish this book but barely. Not a edge of your seat thriller. A lot of animal abuse. And the story just was ok.

I was intrigued by the premise of this book.
The early chapters held my interest, but the later ones became too farfetched to be believed.
Also I was upset about the animal abuse theme as I'm an animal lover.

I did finish the book as I hate leaving unfinished books, but I expected more from this plot.
Thanks Netgalley, the publisher and the author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

With the premise of this novel offering a ‘twisty and gripping’ read it certainly peeked my interest, but I have to say I was rather disappointed with the execution. I found the plot to be adequately thought out and although the novel captivated my attention in the beginning as I was keen to find out what was happening between Dr Burman and Anita, my interest dwindled throughout the course of the book. Furthermore, I have to say that I found the twists of sci-fi to be rather far fetched and the vast amounts of animal abuse rather unsettling.

I don't want to ruin this book for everyone who still has to read it, but believe me when I say that you are in for a thrilling read!
The story is really well written and I could not put it away. Can highly recommend!

This book grips you from the outset as the questions regarding the odd behavior of neighbours in an ordinary suburban street is captivating for any reader. I was excited by this curiosity and then went on to be disappointed by the turn the book takes with the plot regarding Cryogenics. It is too far fetched to consider this to be believable and the borderline sci-fi premise is too much to take on board. Such a pity as I enjoyed the writing and the strained relationships of the neighbours. I couldn't continue when it came to light that the DIY Cryogenics was to become a main plot line, this just went to far for me.

The Doctor is a disturbing and interesting book. I am sensitive to animal or child abuse and warning this book has animal abuse.

I wasn’t able to get too far into The Doctor, I found the writing very basic like asking a school child to write a scary story. Shame as the storyline seemed interesting and I’d like to see where it went.
Just a huge warning for any other animals lovers but there’s lots of animal abuse in this.

Emily and Ben have just moved and they can’t wait to meet their new neighbors. Anita and her husband, Dr. Burman seem less eager to get acquainted. Anita almost never leaves the house and doesn’t even want to pick up the phone. Emily refuses to give up on Anita and keeps trying to reach out to the woman, but a few weeks later, Emily disappears. She’s left a note for Ben, saying she’s fallen in love with another man, but he doesn’t believe it. Ben believes Emily’s disappearance has everything to do with her interest in their new neighbors. This book creeped me out, I’ve had some super weird neighbors myself in the past, so this story was all too real for me
