DCI Miller #2
Neighbours from Hell
The Haughton Park development just outside Manchester is an exclusive new suburb of expensive homes for professional families. When the developer fails to sell half of the properties, the project is thrown into financial chaos.The local council steps in with a workable solution. They propose to use the unsold homes as social housing for homeless families, in return for the much needed cash injection that the developer needs to pay the bills.
It’s a win-win situation. Or is it?
Many of the home-owners are up-in-arms at the proposal. They don’t want the place over-run with 'scrubbers.' They start a media campaign to stop the plans. But they are defeated. The homeless families are given temporary accommodation on the swish development.
Mum of four Rachel Birdsworth is one of the new residents, and she’s determined to get past these stupid class differences. She does her very best to get along with everybody and make new friends. It all starts off quite well. But when she realizes that the home-owner across the road is a wife-beating bully, and that his wife is a virtual prisoner in the home, she wants to help. But this kind of help has deadly consequences.
DCI Andrew Miller is back, trying to get to the bottom of what exactly has happened over at Haughton Park in this heart-stopping, dark thriller from One Man Crusade author Steven Suttie.
WARNING, Contains bad language at times, particularly when the poor people are talking.
Includes the very worst swear word a few times as well.

I read and enjoyed the authors first book, One Man Crusade a while back which is the first in the DCI Miller series. Neighbours From Hell even though the second in the series, can still easily be read as a stand alone.
This novel felt so different to the first in the series. To be honest I had almost forgot about it being a crime series as the police don't feature in the story until quite late on in the story.
The idea behind putting homeless families and mixing them with very well to do families on a posh housing estate is just brilliant. It actually brought a bit of humour into the story in parts which I loved.
I loved Rachel who with her family move onto the estate. Rachel is one of these salt of the earth people and her and her husband are determined to keep their heads down as they are very grateful for the opportunity they have been given and don't want to risk being kicked out and being forced to live in a caravan again with their kids.
Susan is also a great character who you can't help but feel for as she is in a loveless marriage and is very lonely. Her husband Graham is extremely dislikeable as well as being arrogant and a bully. I was glad that Rachel and Susan became friends as it was good to see Susan have someone to go to and that someone had her back.
It is really hard to say much more than that about the story as there are some twists and turns in there that come as a bit of shock and one in particular that you could have knocked me over with a feather as never for a minute so that coming.
Some other readers have mentioned about the amount of swearing in the novel, to be honest what swearing is in the novel is paramount in making the story more real as it wouldn't have worked without it. I will admit to being slightly worried as I'm no prude but it did make me wonder if it would spoil my enjoyment of the novel, well after reading it I can quite happily say it didn't and to be honest I think there was just the perfect amount without it over powering the story.
Neighbours From Hell is a great read that I did not want to put down as I was so wrapped up in the housing residents lives. It really is such an enjoyable read that will take you by surprise in more ways than one.

Even better......need a sixth star
Looked forward to this after the rollercoaster of Book 1, and was not disappointed. Brilliant plot and great characters, some to love, some to despise. Again a great twist and it kept me guessing. Can't wait for 3rd instalment. More please Mr Suttie

What I really like about Steven Suttie books is how he takes a real life controversial topic and builds it into a work of art. This is the second book í have read, the first being One Man Crusade, also recommended as a brilliant book.
This is a story about housing shortages which is a huge problem and how councils place homeless families in privately owned houses. Steven Suttie then takes the "what if " factor and creates a master piece.
The characters in this book are colourful and you can imagine the council house people, before they moved calling over the fence "do you want a brew and by the way can í borrow a ciggy." The people in the story, although a bit rough on the edges are good people, there to help each other and watch each others backs which is captured in the book. I believe he has got the already sitting tenants reaction to the invasion mastered too. The book is funny at times which did make me laugh. There is swearing in the book but in my opinion it is justified to make the people real to life. The end was a total suprise. A definite recommendation for anyone that likes a book with a touch of this could happen one day feel.

When Rachel Birdsworth her partner Mick Crossley and four children are given a chance on a new housing initiative they are thrilled to be moving from the caravan which had been their temporary home for the past four years. They didn't expect to be greeted with open arms from the people who had strived to buy houses on the up market estate but neither did they expect the hostility that one of the neighbours showed towards them. They were determined to stay calm, not cause any trouble and be allowed to stay until they were re housed permanently.
Little did they know of the horror and anguish that awaited them. Thanks Steve for a brilliant book look forward to more.

Swear Down! This is a great read, when posh and poor are thrown together something was bound to go wrong, but not what I expected.The authors style of writing is honest and to he point (don't read if offended by swearing !) hilarious at times, With a twist at the end this is an "unputdownable" story that I devoured in one sitting. Fab!

Fantastic storyline. I really enjoyed the way the book was written and I was gripped from start to end. Another great book in the DCI Miller series.

Roger Thompson (reporter) & Denise Braithwaite (TV news reporter North West Tonight) have the latest on the housing development in Bury declaring bankruptcy.
Their plan is to rent out exclusive new Haughton Park housing development to the city council members who in turn who will rent it at reduced rates to the homeless.
Rental residences are: Rachel Alice Birdsworth (wife, Citizen’s Advice, # 16; Fir Trees Ave) Mick Birdsworth (husband, dishwasher, Chinese restaurant), Liam (older son), Noel (11, youngest son), Shania (8, daughter), Britney (14, daughter), Suzanne Ashworth (wife, # 9; Fir Trees Grove),
Graham Ashworth (husband, alcoholic, Chief Exec’s dept.), Mick Crossley, Kev, Tania (# 20; Fir Trees Grove), Brett (15, Kev/Tania’s son).
Rachel was volunteering at the RSPCA charity shop.
Why did DFS come see Suzanne?
DI Keith Saunders (Bury PD) was addressing the morning S.C.I.U. team: DCI Andrew “Andy” Miller (boss, Manchester CPD), DC Bill Chapman, DC Mike Worthington, DCS Dixon (aka Frosty), & DC Joanne Rudovsky, DCI Gibson, & DC Peter Kenyon.
5 homeless PPL had been found dead it appears from some sort of alcohol poisoning.
Another murder in Longsight.
& now PC Daniel Simmonds (F division, Horwich) paid Suzanne a visit.
The neighborhood folks were also wondering.
Live on air; what were Roger Thompson (TV reporter North West Tonight) parting words.
& in another location Denise Braithwaite.
Somewhere on this earth I’m quite sure there is neighborhoods like this.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written comedy book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great English comedy movie, or better yet a mini TV. To be continued. Kind of goofy but I like it so I will still rate it at 5 stars.

Brilliant read
Well paced plot keeps the pages turning. Great characters, a refreshing read with big twist I didn’t see coming. Very enjoyable. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this book. When the council rehouses 'poorer' families on the private estate as a temporary measure, the owners are up in arms, worrying that the council tenants are going to lower the tone of the estate and cause trouble. Plenty of trouble soon ensues! There is a thread of black humour running though the book and that is what really appealed to me. Plenty of twists and turns and the reader's perception of the characters alter as the story unfolds. There were a few grammar and spelling errors but not enough to spoil my enjoyment of the book. The police element didn't kick in till at least half way through the book and it was good to see DCI Miller back again. Very enjoyable read, will certainly read more from this author.

I'm sure it's a sign of a good book that when you finish it you shout at it because it didn't end how you wanted it to, then you breathe a sigh of relief when you see the next book in the series is available and you hit download. That was what happened to me with this book. It was a really well told story and the characters were great- really well formed and believable. I think it's going to be a good series. The only thing that let it down was the lack of editing and the mistakes that had crept in.

5 Stars From Me!
I absolutely adored this book! The characterisation is sublime. I was literally hooked from the beginning and the way the central characters came to life on the page was an absolute masterclass.
Neighbours From Hell is gripping, engaging, funny, sweet and frustrating and all because you find yourself feeling the injustice, love, pain as you read along.
I can’t remember the last time I was so immediately sucked into a story and felt it burst into life in this way.
I haven’t read One Man Crusade but I am literally off to go and buy it now!
Fabulous work, Steven Suttie, I am a new fan and can’t wait to read more.
…one tiny thing… SPOILER ALERT PLEASE LOOK AWAY – I was disappointed that DCI Miller was so gullible.

Tense? Nervy? Keep forgetting simple things like what you came into the room for or your children's names?
You must be reading Neighbours From Hell, and your mistake, my friend, was Putting It Down, because this is a book that sucks you in from the start and doesn't let go for a second. An exciting, thrilling plot and some nice fast prose, but most importantly, that thing that's becoming the Suttie trademark: characters who grab you by the throat and make you live their fears and dreams with them, root for them, feel their victories and their losses as if they were your own.
Keep 'em coming, Steve.

Brilliant Book
Chose this book as the description sounded good, thought I would end up disappointed as i quite often do, but this book was really good, when I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about it and what would happen next and how it would end. The characters were really easy to relate to and the story was straight to the point, no pages wasted on useless irrelevant info. Don't want to give the storyline away but I felt really sorry for two characters at the end of the book.
Thoroughly enjoyed, and am now looking to see if the author has done any others.

I was hoping for another great read from Steven Suttie after finishing One Man Crusade a short while ago. I am glad to say I was not disappointed.
I thought the premise to the story was a good one but wasn't sure where the story was going until chapter 2 where DCI Miller and team made their appearance.
Great story, more great characters along with some we've met before along with plot twists and turns and an ending which I didn't see coming.

I bought this book having previously enjoyed Steven's One Man Crusade & I thought it was absolutely brilliant. The foundation of the story is the mistrust which exists between Britain's social classes, a subject which I feel the author tackles well. He combines interesting, realistic characters with a gripping storyline & a twist at the end which, I for one, didn't see coming. There are also some very funny lines added which enhance, rather than detract from, the overall story.

What a read. The ending was not what I expected....at all! This is a must read, the characters reveal all bit by bit, and the fact thst some of this is based in good old Accy is even better. Looking forward to more from Mr Suttie.

Neighbours from hell
I recently read Steven Suttie’s ‘One Man Crusade’ which was a fantastic book. This one is still a great book and has the unusual twists that you are not expecting. The first 41% of the book was about Mick & Rachel’s move into their new home, their neighbours and led to a missing person report. After a friend of DCI Miller’s mentioned their neighbour had disappeared and it seemed a little strange, as a favour he did a bit of digging around, which led to something he was expecting and lots of different stories coming from all the suspects. What I like about the authors stories are you can’t guess what’s going to happen in the end and in both books the ending surprises and somewhat shocks. It was probably a 4.5 out of 5. I read this book very quickly and didn’t want to put it down. I don’t usually comment on these things, but the editing of the book on my phone was unusual. Some pages were not full pages of text. Didn’t spoil the read though.

The second in the DCI Miller series. It was so far into the book before DCI Miller et al make an appearance, I’d all but forgotten about them. The plot revolves around a high end estate,some of whose residents are up in arms when the developer sub lets new builds to the local council for tenants. To cut to the chase,there’s a murder which stays unnoticed for a while, until Miller’s mate mentions to him that this chap hasn’t been seen and things start to unravel. In an unlikely twist a third party turns himself in to confess to the crime he’s not committed. Once again, the frictions caused between the two groups is a clever plot line, but sadly, for me, the writing is lacking. That said, parts of the storytelling are good, once again editing etc needs more refinement. I’m going to continue with the series as something keeps drawing me in.

Sort of got there
Not keen on the Manchester slang it seemed to get in the way of the story rather than aid it. I can understand its use in trying to give authenticity but for me it made the reading harder and much less flowing. The storyline was very good and DCI Miller is an exceptional character. Interesting end leading onto another book to complete the telling of the tale after all I can't believe that a cop of his calibre can allow the villain to tell him one story about being beaten up and the go on to tell all the papers about her virtuous husband nor can I believe that the forth member was simply vanished. More to come.

Love, hate, sarcasm, wit, selflessness and conspiracy are all included in this tale of murder and judgment.
"What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive". Steven Suttie 's book is as filled with humor as it is with deception. Another quote this book brings to mind is "Be careful what you wish for". I will have to read Suttie's next book to see if justice is actually served.

Great writer
I love the way Steven can make a crime book with comedy involved. The characters are so well thought out, and the storylines impressive. Bringing the poor and homeless into a situation of unheard of riches only makes these over privileged people even more desperate to get rid of them. Reading it is like a socialist experiment gone wrong. The ending is great can't wait to read sequel.

Distracted by typos
Firstly, this book doesn't seem to have been written by the same Steven Suttie who wrote One Man's Crusade and secondly, I found it difficult to get past the very many typos, spelling mistakes and pagination errors that appeared on almost every page. Sorry, very disappointed.

Realistic ending
Sad but true no fairy tale, it was very interesting that most of the novel covers what happened through the perspective of the accused-Micky, Rachel and their family. I really liked their family-it is a satire on the current condition of our world and poor people. The tension in the novel was taught throughout the storyline.

Interesting approach
The premise of this story is far more believable, and the reactions of most of the characters are closer to reality. The pace is more interesting too; comparing to the first book in the series

This author is not afraid to confront controversial topics. The plot falters midway and if I had the brains to write this book, I would have sent it in a different direction. Perhaps that's why my interest flagged.

A good read
This book is a page turner. The plot involves a family that just want to get on with their lives but whilst trying to help their neighbours events lead to this couple to a sinister pathway. DCI Miller got the culprits but did he really??

I do love Steven Suttie’s books. They incorporate police systems, human characters and great real life storylines - this one was particularly clever as it focused so much on the human interest storyline. Just great.
