The Neighbour

Love thy neighbour or fear thy neighbour?For myself and Lauren, my 10-year-old daughter No3 Beech Close was to be our refuge after two years of hell nursing my sick mother.In need of a fresh start and wanting to distance ourselves from the bad memories of my mother's house we moved to Beech Close, a small cul-de-sac of six houses situated around a picture-perfect green.It seemed perfect but I had underestimated the secrets that this tightknit community shared.Within hours of moving in my next-door neighbour Valerie made it abundantly clear we were not welcome.I soon discovered that Valerie hadn't welcomed the previous occupant either and she'd since disappeared without a trace.Had I put myself and my daughter in danger moving to Beech Close?Which neighbours, if any could I trust?And how far would they go to keep their secret?Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell
