Book review
The New Neighbours by Claire Douglas
The New Neighbours by Claire Douglas
A must-read for fans of psychological thrillers. Lena, a recently separated mother, assists her teenage son with a media project, inadvertently capturing a conversation between her new neighbours, the Morgans, using a boom microphone. The conversation suggests they might be planning a crime and Lena becomes obsessed with the possibility that she overheard something sinister. Her investigation into their lives intertwines with her own hidden past, leading her down a dangerous path where uncovering the truth could have dire consequences. Split into three parts and told through multiple POVs, the story has an intricate plot and compelling characters (although it was quite difficult to keep up with them all). Well worth a read and should keep you captivated until the very last page. Lynda T
