The Babysitter Across the Street
(2026)(The third book in the Serenity series)
A Story by Cynthia Hickey
High school senior Chloe Bennett is watching the Holloways’ children when she notices a violent argument unfolding in the upstairs window of the house across the street.
Minutes later, the lights go out.
By morning, Rebecca Turner is gone.
Her husband claims she left town after a fight, but Chloe knows what she saw that night—and she knows Rebecca was terrified. When Chloe starts asking questions, she learns Rebecca had been secretly investigating the disappearance of another Serenity woman who vanished decades earlier.
Then someone starts watching Chloe’s house at night.
A black SUV idles outside her window.
Footsteps circle her backyard.
And the man across the street keeps smiling like he knows exactly what she'''s afraid of.
As Chloe digs deeper into the town’s buried secrets, she uncovers a chilling truth: Rebecca Turner discovered evidence connected to an old murder—and the killer is willing to silence anyone who gets too close.
In Serenity, some secrets survive for decades.
Others kill to stay hidden.
The Babysitter Across the Street is a fast-paced small-town suspense thriller filled with buried secrets, dangerous obsession, and edge-of-your-seat tension.
Perfect for fans of psychological suspense, domestic thrillers, and twist-filled mystery reads.
