Stay Hidden by Paul Doiron

In his new job as a warden investigator with the Maine Warden Service, Mike Bowditch is the only officer available to travel to the island of Maquoit to determine if someone should be charged in the death of journalist Ariel Evans. Ariel is not a local resident and it appears that she might have mistaken her for deer and shot. Ariel also might have been working on a story--about either a hermit who lives near Maquoit or some local neo-Nazis. As Mike pieces together information about Ariel's time on the island, it becomes clear to him that she was murdered. Surrounded by residents who would like the truth to stay buried, will he be able to discover what really happened? Stay Hidden is another thoroughly enjoyable mystery in the Mike Bowditch series.

The Family Next Door by Sally Hepworth

In a suburb of Melbourne, the reader gets to know three families who live on Pleasant Court. There's Essie, who lives with her husband, Ben and her two young daughters. Essie left her older daughter, Mia, at a park when she was a baby, and seems to be dealing with postpartum depression after the birth of her second child, Polly. Real estate agent, Ange, is married to Lucas, with two boys, and has concerns about her husband's fidelity. Resident Fran, like Essie, has two little daughters and is married to Nigel. She is harboring her own secret and struggles with keeping it hidden. When new neighbor Isabelle moves onto Pleasant Court, it becomes clear that she has moved to the street because she believes someone has kept something hidden that involves her. Will anyone's lives ever be the same? A great read-alike for readers of Liane Moriarty.
