The New Neighbors - Review

The New Neighbors
by Simon Lelic
Published April 10 2018 by Berkley


Many thanks to NetGalley for a preview copy, and many apologies for the tardiness of my review.  I don't  know why I delayed my reading of this, but it was well worth the wait.

Jack and Sydney have purchased a house together, fulfilling a dream.  The house was, shall we say, too good to be believed, with the deal they were given against other higher bidders.  Almost as if a higher power wanted them in this house at this time.  Creepy things start to occur, beginning with a discovery in the attic.  Excursions into old attics always give me chills.  Then noises in the night and other mysterious happenings, not to mention an a$$hole  of a neighbor, set against Jack and Sydney each telling their background stories, kept me riveted.  I finished it in two days.  

I would seek out recommendations for reading this author again.
