A Neighbor's Guide to Murder - Large Print by Louise Candlish (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

From internationally bestselling author Louise Candlish, a witty psychological thriller where an older woman's suspicions about her charming new neighbor ignite a deadly spiral in their luxury apartment building

In Columbia Mansions, secrets don't stay behind closed doors for long...

It's rare for a room to open up in London's storied Columbia Mansions, and lonely Gwen is thrilled when an unexpected new subletter, Pixie, turns out to be a friendly breath of fresh air to its stuffy halls. Their unlikely cross-generational bond soon becomes the bright spot in Gwen's quiet life.

But Gwen can't help noticing cracks beneath Pixie's cheerful surface--especially when it comes to her questionable financial arrangement with her live-in landlord, Alec. As suspicions mount, Gwen's protective instincts go into overdrive, triggering a dangerous chain of events no one is prepared for.

The last thing Columbia Mansions wants is a scandal on its hands...

Let alone a murder.
