Very Bad Neighbors: A Novel

Summary

A retired hitman's wife dying for a fresh start must uncover the hidden secrets of her new neighborhood—and stop a murder plot.

Soph Kowalski is used to living in the shadows. Being married to a hitman, she’s had to keep 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.

But their dream threatens to explode before it’s even begun when they learn someone’s trying to kill one of their new neighbors. What could be going on in this sleepy hollow that calls for murder?
