Everyone has secrets. Some neighborhoods collect them.
When Brooke Sullivan and her family move into the upscale community of Desert Oaks, the gates, the sunshine, and the smiles feel like a dream come true. The HOA president drops off a welcome basket. The ‘Neighborhood Watch’ offers a home-insurance discount and a safety app that connects every Ring camera on the block. All Brooke has to do is turn on Sharing.
Then a break-in rattles the street, and Brooke’s doorbell clip ‘solves’ the crime. She is invited behind the curtain, where she glimpses The Vault—a private archive of neighbors’ videos, fines, and quiet little files. What looks like community is something else entirely. Surveillance. Leverage. Control.
When Brooke tries to walk away, the Watch reminds her who she used to be. The sealed court record. The new name. The people she has been hiding from. If she talks, they expose her past. If she stays silent, she becomes complicit.
To save her family, Brooke will have to turn the cameras back on the people who installed them. But in Desert Oaks, the lights never go out. And the Watch is always watching.
Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden and Lisa Jewell, The Neighborhood Watch is a razor-sharp suburban thriller about belonging, power, and the price of safety.
