The Quiet Neighbor

The new neighbor brought a lemon pound cake. It was made exactly the way Hannah's grandmother made it. Nobody in North Carolina knows that.

Hannah Cole has spent fifteen years building a quiet life on a quiet cul-de-sac, with a kind husband, two kids and a secret. Then Ellen Price moves in next door, and Hannah's smart home starts turning against her: lights at 3 a.m., a song from the worst night of her life, and a voice in the dark asking the one question she has never answered.

A tense domestic thriller about guilt, truth and the technology that's always listening.
