This classic neighborhood thriller checks all of the boxes.

It's well-written, fast-paced, and character-driven, with a surprise twist ending.

Isobel Floyd lives in The Close, a quiet community in the lush English countryside.

When a young man from The Close is killed in a mysterious hit-and-run accident, Isobel begins to question whether "The Close" is the perfect neighborhood to raise her two children.

When the family of the hit-and-run victim exits The Close and a new neighbor moves in, complete chaos in The Close begins and another life is lost.

This was my second book by author Miranda Rijks and I am a fan.

Even though "The New Neighbour" lacked the tension and suspense of the author's previous book ("I Want You Gone"), it was still an entertaining read.

I listened to the audiobook and both narrators did a superb job.

Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

3.5 stars.
