Very Bad Neighbours

A laugh-out-loud, irreverent, and twisty new mystery from the bestselling author of The Retirement Plan about a suburban mom who is dying to fit in and must uncover the hidden secrets of her new neighbourhood—and thwart a murder plot—for fans of Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone and Finlay Donovan Is Killing It

Soph has spent her adult life keeping others at a distance. Being married to a hit man, she’s had to maintain a low profile. But after closing that dark chapter, she and Mike move their young family across the country, ready to finally live a normal life. This town will be nothing like the last: they’ll settle in, go to backyard barbecues with their kids and make friends. But their dream threatens to explode before it’s even begun when they learn someone’s put out a hit on one of their new neighbours. What could be going on in this sleepy hollow that calls for murder? And since murder means questions—from the police and the media—there’s no way Soph and Mike can let it happen. But trying to stop the killing is about to land her in the middle of the neighbourhood’s darkest secret, and soon she’ll discover these picket fences can be sharp as knives . . .
