Omschrijving
The perfect neighbourhood or the perfect lie? For fans of The Couple Next Door, The Neighbour is a twisting thriller about a leafy suburb with a deadly secret, by rising star of crime fiction Fiona Cummins.
This thriller explores typically dark territory for this author, who has a gift for tapping a rich seam of evil that underpins the surface of the every day. Superbly sinister.
She is the master of depicting the way the most terrifyingly grotesque and evil psychopaths inveigle their way into the lives of ordinary people [...] when writing from the perspective of ordinary people caught up in horrific events, Fiona Cummins is unbeatable.
Creepy as hell, and kept me guessing to the very end
A crime novel of the very first order
Trust me – Cummins is a keeper
An excellent read
It’s a rare debut that has this much polish. Harrowing and horrifying, head and shoulders above most of the competition
An extraordinarily good writer. What a storyteller
The Neighbour is nerve-janglingly creepy, beautifully written and full of surprises
[A] brilliant book. What a dark, creepy and twisted (in all senses of the word) tale!
Fiona is the mistress of tension building and the way she weaved that tangled web of suspects and motives left me breathless. Truly magnificent.
I could not stop reading, every turned page revealing secrets, increasingly strange and fascinating [...] I loved The Neighbour, a feat of masterful plotting from one of my favourite story tellers
Fiona Cummins drew me in from the very first page with her original and compelling prose. Dark, creepy and intense with brilliant characters and a clever plot with an ending I didn’t see coming
Tension that creep creeps all the way through, but a pace and language so precise and right that it felt like I was watching a movie [...] This book will linger
Fiona's books are so masterfully crafted and beautifully written [...] A disturbing observation of a community and the secrets hidden within it, a dark and compelling read.
Original, compelling and oh so creepy. Stock up on the sugar because you might never dare pop next door again.
An original plot, brilliantly crafted with the wonderfully atmospheric storytelling that readers have come to expect from Fiona Cummins.
Fiona Cummins is the queen of all things dark and wonderful, and she writes so beautifully. It creeped me the hell out and I absolutely LOVED it
I was enthralled from beginning to end as every page drips with threat and menace [...] Totally gripping with a cast of ghastly characters, one worse than the next.
Kept me guessing and second guessing the whole way through. Storytelling at its best.
You'll be curtain twitching after reading this - a deeply unsettling and brilliantly claustrophobic novel that will have you questioning how well you know your neighbours.
Fiona Cummins has concocted a frightening tale that's compulsive reading. I couldn't put it down, despite the fact that I started each new chapter with a creeping sense of dread and the hairs standing up on the back of my neck.
Incredibly creepy, intense, and compelling. Excellent.
Creepy, menacing genius
