Do you trust the couple next door?
When Lena overhears a conversation between her next-door neighbours, she thinks she must have misheard.
After all, the Morgans are a kind, retired couple who have moved to a suburban street in Bristol where nothing ever happens.
But it sounded like they were planning a crime.
Her family and friends tell her she's made a mistake.
Yet the more Lena looks into the Morgans, the darker things seem.
And the more she fears it might be linked to a secret from her own past.
Because, if her suspicions are true, then someone is in real danger.
And it might just be her...

A Slow-Burn Thriller That Keeps You Guessing
Lena lives with her teenage son in a quiet neighbourhood, where everything feels safe and familiar — until the Morgans move in next door. When she accidentally overhears them discussing a crime, her sense of normality quickly begins to fracture, and nothing feels quite so harmless anymore. As a fan of domestic mysteries, I really enjoyed how the story unfolds through shifting perspectives and timelines, gradually revealing hidden connections and unreliable narrators. Lena is a relatable and compelling main character, which made her growing unease easy to invest in. The middle section dragged slightly, but the tension ramps up towards a strong and satisfying ending. Overall, a gripping read and a solid 3.5 stars.
Perfekt für den Herbst! 🍂⚡
Claire Douglas enttäuscht mich nie - ihre Bücher sind immer sehr spannend geschrieben und man möchte das Buch kaum noch aus der Hand legen. Nachdem ich "The Wrong Sister" von ihr gelesen habe, wollte ich unbedingt auch "The New Neighbours" von ihr lesen. Und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht! Wenn ihr auf der Suche nach einem spannenden Thriller seid, dann macht ihr bei diesem Buch - und generell bei Claire Douglas - nichts falsch! ⚡
Spannende Lektüre, allerdings im Vergleich zu anderen Krimis der Autorin weniger komplex und auch etwas klischeehaft was die Figurenzeichnung betrifft. Zum Teil stark konstruiert, das Verhalten der Hauptfigur manchmal haarsträubend. Kann man lesen, bleibt aber nicht lange im Gedächtnis. Werde aber Claire Douglas bei ihrem nächsten Thriller wieder eine Chance geben.
