The Lady Next Door

"An unrelenting read. Start this book only when you have no other plans."

It all started with . . . a dinner invitation.

Jessica heads over to her new neighbor Martha's house one evening after casually volunteering to help her get settled in. Both are young nurses and, turns out, survivors of toxic relationships; in fact, they've got plenty in common. Plus, a fun and friendly peer is a welcome upgrade to their sleepy, suburban street bordered by woods.

Martha, too, is grateful for the company. Over bottles of wine and Chinese takeout, it's set to be an evening of emptying boxes and unpacking the past.

Jessica's been meaning to get out more. Make some friends. Live a little. Even if they don't become the best of friends, what's the harm in a kind deed?

With three days off from her shifts at the hospital, Jessica's got no other plans than to relax, play with her dog, and unwind.

Little does she know she's a dinner guest... that won't be leaving.
