Neighbours from Hell

DCI Miller series

Haughton Park, a new development on the edge of Manchester, was built for well-off professional families. When the developer cannot sell half of its homes, the project slides into serious money trouble, and the local council offers a practical fix: use the empty houses to shelter homeless families, which brings in the cash the builder needs. Many existing owners object strongly and campaign against the scheme, worried about who will move in next.

Rachel Birdsworth, a mother of four, is among the families housed on the estate, and she is determined to bridge the divide and make friends. Things go well at first, until she discovers that a neighbour across the road is abusing his wife, who seems to be held almost prisoner inside their home. Her attempt to help puts her in danger. DCI Andrew Miller returns to investigate what has happened at the development.
