The New Neighbours

《The New Neighbours》是Claire Douglas所著的一部懸疑小說，故事主軸圍繞女主角Lena，她剛與丈夫分居，陪伴即將離巢的兒子Rufus生活。在鄰居搬來一對退休夫婦亨利和瑪麗耶爾·摩根（Henry和Marielle Morgan）後，Lena在幫助兒子錄製一個校園媒體項目時，意外用麥克風錄下鄰居談話，聽起來像是策劃一樁罪行。

儘管家人和朋友認為她聽錯了，Lena卻無法釋懷，開始悄悄調查鄰居的秘密。她發現摩根夫婦行為多有怪異，特別是瑪麗耶爾對於推著嬰兒車的說辭遮遮掩掩，讓她更加疑心重重。而隨著深入調查，Lena也被自己過去的一個黑暗秘密所困擾，兩者漸漸交織，使她陷入嚴重的危機。

整個故事充滿懸疑張力與心理描寫，通過Lena的視角展現社區中看似平靜卻暗藏危機的氛圍。書中同時刻畫了人物內心的掙扎和信任的破裂，讀者在揭開層層謎團的同時，也體會到主角面臨的心理壓力與危險。

Lena overhears a conversation she shouldn’t have.

She’s sure her new neighbours – the Morgans – are planning a crime.

Her family say she’s mistaken.
They are a lovely, friendly couple.
She should forget it.

Yet Lena can’t.

And the more she investigates,
the worse her suspicions.

But Lena hasn’t counted on one thing.

A secret from her own past. One the Morgans seem connected to.

And which puts Lena in terrible danger . . .
