THE NEIGHBOUR – FIONA CUMMINS

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?
