Gail Cleare, US Today bestselling author

‘An entertaining mystery with an engaging cast of characters.’ Leigh Russell, author of the DI Geraldine Steel thriller series

‘I really enjoyed this: Jennie’s portrayal of characters was terrific. I think this would make an excellent three-part TV thriller.’ Brian Price, author of the DC Mel Cotton crime series

'Although
The Bad Neighbour is crime fiction, Jennie Ensor’s gloriously dark humour comes over in places you least expect it, and the book has many golden moments where you find yourself smiling in recognition... A hugely enjoyable book.' Linda Huber, psychological thriller author

At the start of lockdown, social climber and local busybody Tara Sanderson sets up a community group to help vulnerable residents through the crisis. Elderly Elspeth Chambers, her longstanding neighbour and friend, accepts Tara’s offer to buy food and collect medicine for her.

But it isn’t long before neighbourliness and community spirit turn sour. Tensions arise when Tara becomes jealous of Elspeth’s emerging friendship with Ashley Kahn, a recent arrival in Wilton Close. Suspecting there is more to Tara’s hostility toward them than meets the eye, Ashley and Elspeth start to uncover their neighbour’s long-buried secrets...
