Description
‘Extremely fast paced and completely page-turning … like a nerve-shredding fusion of James Patterson and Thomas Harris, with a terrifying final act that will stay in my mind for a long time’ B P Walter, Sunday Times-bestselling author of The Dinner Guest
He isn’t who you think he is…When Leah Talbot crashes her car one night, she spots a light on in a nearby house and approaches, hoping that someone is home.
He is.
Charming, handsome, Martin Tate answers the door to the bedraggled and traumatised Leah, inviting her in. Though she’s not there for long, Leah feels an indescribable pull to the man who has helped in her hour of need.
But when she returns the next morning to say thank you, it isn’t Martin who answers the door this time. It’s the police.
There’s been a brutal murder and the female homeowner is lying dead in a pool of blood upstairs in bed.
There’s no sign of Martin…
Until he comes looking for Leah.
The Good Neighbour is a nerve-shredding domestic suspense thriller of secrets and serial killers perfect for fans of Sharon Bolton and S. E. Lynes.

In one of the creepiest ever opening chapters, while driving home on a dark, rainy night, Leah Talbot hits a deer, wrecks her car, then walks to the nearest house for help. The owner, Martin Tate, welcomes Leah and calls the police and AAA for her. He lets her use his phone to call Elliot, her estranged husband. Confused and in shock, Leah lets Martin kiss her.
But Martin Tate is not the owner of the house. The real owner is Alice Booth and she is upstairs, hideously murdered. Leah discovers this the next morning when she stops by to thank Martin for his help and finds herself in the middle of a police investigation. Because she gave him her address so he could pass it on to the police, she could be the next victim. She’s offered police protection and she and Elliot decide to leave their home until there’s an arrest.
That will take a while. Tension mounts, the bodies pile up and Leah makes some poor, but well meaning, decisions. The Good Neighbor, while at times unrealistic, delivers nail biting suspense and a wild conclusion. 4 stars rounded to 5 for that opening!
Thank you to NetGalley, HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter and R.J. Parker for this ARC.

Addictive, chilling, compelling..... I could go on and on.
This book was such a good read, I devoured it in a couple of sittings. You’ll definitely think twice about knocking at a strangers door.

The Good Neighbour is hard charging right from the beginning, when Leah belatedly realizes that the man who generously opened his door late at night to help her after a car accident wasn't the home owner. Worse, the home owner was dead and the man was most likely the killer. So who was the man and why was he kind to her? More importantly, why did he spare Leah and what does he want with her now?
This is a fast paced and twisty read that is lots of outrageous, over the top fun. Recommended for fans of psychological suspense. #TheGoodNeighbour
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC. The opinions in this review are honest and my own.

CREEPY!! The Goodneighbour took off at high speed with the action packed suspense, into creepy chilling thrills to down right terrifying! I haven't slept, I've been up all night turning pages and now I can't sleep until day light as I'm scared.
I highly recommend you read The Good Neighbour if you love thrillers with a bit of horror, it definately has the scare factor in the novel.

When Leah hits a deer on her way home, all she can think about is getting help. Knocking on a neighbors door she is greeted by a handsome, charming man more than willing to help her. The next day she is off to thank her charming mystery man, until she notices police....everywhere. cue the adrenaline pumping because the home owner is ...dead... but wait it's not prince charming but a woman... cue the creepy music because things just got good! I could not put this down!!!
