The Haughton Park development just outside Manchester is an exclusive new suburb of expensive homes for professional families. When the developer fails to sell half of the properties, the project is thrown into financial chaos.

The local council steps in with a workable solution. They propose to use the unsold homes as social housing for homeless families in return for the much-needed cash injection that the developer needs to pay the bills.

It’s a win-win situation. Or is it?

Many of the homeowners are up in arms at the proposal. They don’t want the place overrun with "scrubbers". They start a media campaign to stop the plans, but they are defeated. The homeless families are given temporary accommodation on the swish development.

Mum of four Rachel Birdsworth is one of the new residents, and she’s determined to get past these stupid class differences. She does her very best to get along with everybody and make new friends. It all starts off quite well. But when she realizes the homeowner across the road is a wife-beating bully and that his wife is a virtual prisoner in the home, she wants to help. But this kind of help has deadly consequences.

DCI Andrew Miller is back, trying to get to the bottom of what exactly has happened over at Haughton Park in this heart-stopping, dark thriller from One Man Crusade author Steven Suttie.

Hatred, abuse, betrayal and death

Neighbors from Hell sounds almost like a play or tv series. There are many actors who play background characters and trust me they are good. I love the narration it was emotional and believable. The story is fast paced and extremely well written. The storyline could almost be taken out of today's news reports. I highly recommend this book if you like suspense, crime and twists.
I received this audio book upon my request and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
