A gripping and creepy read
George Straus, an author of thrillers about serial killers has just moved to a new home in a quiet neighbourhood. The house has a dark history, but George likes a house with a 'backstory'. He wants to keep up with the neighbourhood standards by looking after his garden which brings him into contact with his strange neighbour Lyle Schneider who plays music loudly by might and asks for quiet by day for his immaculate roses. The roses are hidden behind a high fence. This way of working suits George who is a night owl and likes to write by night. But Lyle has an unnerving manner about him and George is soon distracted by the goings-on over the fence and has a morbid fascination with him.
George needs to know how the story ends for his own writing and he needs to finish the last chapter.
No spoilers here but a menacing and creepy story with a satisfying ending. Amy Shannon is a prolific author who has perfected her craft. It's not far off to Halloween as I write this and this is perfect story for this season!
