In the tradition of Zoe Hellers What Was She Thinking? Notes on a Scandal, The New Neighbor is a chilling page-turner People a darkly sophisticated novel about an old womans curiosity turned into a dangerous obsession as she becomes involved in her new neighbors complicated and cloaked life. How much can you really know about the woman next door? Ninety-year-old Margaret Riley is content hiding from the world. Stoic and independent, she rarely leaves the Tennessee mountaintop where she lives, finding comfort in the mystery novels that keep her company—until she spots a woman whos moved into the long-empty house across the pond. Her neighbor, Jennifer Young, is also looking to hide. On the run from her old life, she and her four-year-old son, Milo, have moved to a quiet town where no one from her past can find her.
