The Neighbour | Fiona Cummins
8 posts | 9 read | 11 to read
FOR SALE: A lovely family home with good-sized garden and treehouse occupying a plot close to woodland. Perfect for kids, fitness enthusiasts, dog walkers . . . And, it seems, the perfect hunting ground for a serial killer. On a hot July day, Garrick and Olivia Lockwood and their two children move into 25 The Avenue looking for a fresh start. They arrive in the midst of a media frenzy: theyd heard about the local murders in the press, but Garrick was certain the killer would be caught and it would all be over in no time. Besides, theyd got the house at a steal and he was convinced he could flip it for a fortune. The neighbours seemed to be the very picture of community spirit. But everyone has secrets, and the residents in The Avenue are no exception. After six months on the case with no real leads, the most recent murder has turned DC Wildeve Stantons life upside down, and now she has her own motive for hunting down the killer quickly. The Neighbour is a thrilling standalone novel by the author of Rattle, Fiona Cummins.

Well. Short punchy chapters that jumped from character to character really kept the pace and suspense alive. This was one of those books where I had to cover what was coming with my hand as my brain desperately tried to jump ahead to find out the truth. I had an inkling about who done it but couldn't be sure. Excellent story.

Every killing has a taste of it own.

When I pre-ordered this one, I had expected it to be a continuation of the series Cummins began with her debut novel, The Collector. But, this is a standalone thriller set in The Avenue of Essex- with a quaint #BookishMap masking the number of secrets in this little strip- and a serial killer on the loose! The style as it alternates between past and present takes some getting used to, but it quickly becomes another hard to put down read!!

The multiple narrators worked extremely well in adding to the suspense!
