You share a wall. He's keeping a secret...

Mia's best friend Beth warns her not to buy the fixer-upper on Taverner Street. George, the next-door neighbour, seems like a nightmare. He's loud, messy and rude.

But Mia sees the potential and buys the house anyway. Soon, though, George's behaviour strays from erratic to downright threatening. And when Beth goes missing on Taverner Street, Mia fears her friend was right.

This street holds terrible secrets, and uncovering them might be the only way she can find Beth...

I love a book with twist after satisfying twist, and The Neighbour really delivers. Tense and compelling from page one, it's another absolute cracker from Emma Curtis. -- Naomi Williams, author of THE WOMAN IN WARD 9
Sinister goings on behind closed doors and twists a plenty. Another knock-out from Emma Curtis -- S.E. Lynes, author of THE BABY SHOWER
A real page turner. The plot tightened with every twist, and the characters were so terrifyingly relatable I couldn't stop thinking it could happen to me! -- Jess Ryder, author of THE EX-WIFE
The Neighbour is packed with tension, compelling characters and twists I never saw coming. A fantastic thriller. -- Emily Freud, author of WHAT SHE LEFT BEHIND
Emma Curtis specialises in characters who are never quite who they seem. Page-turning and addictive -- Jane Corry, author of MY SISTER'S SECRET
Unsettling and addictive, The Neighbour delivers page-turning suspense in the world of suburban property flipping. Emma Curtis is the queen of domestic noir. -- Nicola Rayner, author of THE GIRL BEFORE YOU
Emma Curtis is a read-in-one-sitting author and I devoured THE NEIGHBOUR. Emma is masterful at building complex, layered plots, and you can sense the tension in the walls. Brilliant! -- Amy McCulloch, author of BREATHLESS
The Neighbour is a dark, chilling and addictive read - everything I want in a psychological thriller! A twisty page-turner that had my heart racing as I galloped towards the shocking end. -- Saskia Sarginson, author of WHAT HAPPENED AT NO. 13

I was straight into this book from the very first chapter - I had so many questions immediately, and couldn't wait to have them answered. The premise feels unique and fresh - Mia is fixing up a house so she can flip it and start her property development dream. But enter the untrustworthy best friend, the gorgeous man doing up the house next door but one, and the creepy guy next door who may be dangerous but also plays violin like a dream - and you have yourself a completely addictive book!

I loved all the twists and turns, the incredibly well-drawn characters, and the expert pacing. Emma Curtis is a master of suspense and I loved this gripping, twisty thriller.

-- Ruth Irons, author of THE PERFECT GUEST
The clever, twisty plot relies on the unbalanced relationship of these women and Curtis produces a creepy but thoughtful study of the damage done by damaged people * Daily Mail *
Dark, unsettling and irresistibly intriguing. Emma Curtis knows exactly how to find the danger lurking behind seemingly ordinary doors -- Lauren North, author of PERFECT WIVES
The novel is interesting in its juxtaposition of those who have had secure childhoods and those who haven't, and it shows how easily killing people who threaten you can seem like the sensible option * Literary Review *
