The Perfect Neighbor (2012)
“She spent the next day fueled on cookies and the diet soft drinks she liked to pretend balanced out the cookie calories. On paper, section by section, Emily and her friend Cari—who over the last couple of years had taken on several Jody-like attributes—plotted and planned on how to discover the secrets of the Mr. Mysterious.
She was going to call him “Quinn,” but not for several installments.
For three days she rarely left her drawing board. Jody had a key, so it wasn’t necessary to run down an...d let her in every time she dropped over for a visit. And Jody was always happy enough to dash down to open the door for Mrs. Wolinsky or one of the other neighbors who stopped by.
