The Neighbour

For fans of The Family Across the Street by Nicole Trope and The Cottage by Lisa Stone, The Neighbour by Fiona Cummins is a twisting thriller about a quiet neighbourhood that’s hiding a deadly secret.

‘Creepy as hell and kept me guessing to the very end’ – Ian Rankin

A new home. A new start.

It’s all the Lockwoods want.

And on The Avenue, a leafy street in an Essex town near the sea, it seems possible.

But what if what they want isn’t what they get?

On their moving-in day they arrive to a media frenzy.

A serial killer has struck in the woods behind The Avenue.

The police are investigating.

And the neighbours quite clearly have secrets.

With their dream quickly turning into a nightmare, the Lockwoods are watching everyone.

But who’s watching them?
