The Good Neighbour is a heart-stopping thriller, that keeps you on the edge of your seat up until the very last page. The twist in that ending?! My god, I GASPED.

I loved the idea of it being ‘it could have been me’. It was a riveting chase between our main character Leah, and the murderer. How does that happen? Well you’ll just have to read it to find out!

It does have some very graphic scenes, with some leaving me quite emotional. I remember repeatedly saying “oh no” as I was reading one in particular, as it absolutely broke me. 

It’s dark, it’s graphic and I loved it. Definitely recommend.
