Overview
She's beautiful. She's charming. She's going to destroy your life.

When her only son leaves for college, Helen Martin thinks her biggest worry is an empty house.

Then Dakota moves in next door. Young, beautiful, and brash, Dakota quickly attracts the ire of the homeowners association — and the wandering eyes of Helen’s husband, Sam.

But Helen is determined to be a good neighbor. When Dakota's violent ex-husband comes looking for her, Helen thinks she can help drive him away.

She's wrong.

What starts as a simple act of kindness spirals into a nightmare of obsession, lies, and deadly secrets that will threaten her marriage — and her life.

How far will Helen go to save herself, her home, and her family?

The Girl Next Door – the shocking psychological thriller from the best-selling author of The Last Wife.

What readers are saying about The Girl Next Door:

“I'm not even going to pretend I had any self-control with this book because I did NOT, and I could NOT stop reading The Girl Next Door until I hit the very last page. It grabbed on at page one and refused to let go.” -Netgalley Reviewer

“Action starts from the beginning… a fast paced read.” -Booksprout Reviewer

“McGregor masterfully builds tension… the reader is left questioning who to trust… sharp prose and a slow-burning intensity…” -Netgalley Reviewer

“Fast-paced, twisty, and impossible to put down, fans of Shari Lapena or Lisa Jewell will eat this up. I devoured it in a single sitting!” -Netgalley Reviewer

“This book will BLOW YOUR MIND! A wicked page-turner that will keep you glued to its pages and, guessing wrong about who to trust—until its breathtaking ending!” -Netgalley Reviewer

“…a perfect mystery and thriller book for me because it reminds me of the Housemaid book series by Freida McFadden. I highly recommend it.” -Netgalley Reviewer
