You witnessed a murder.
No one believes you.
Prove it—or they’ll take your baby.

Isolated with her newborn in a farmhouse in Southwest Michigan, sleep-deprived Shelby Ashford feels like she’s losing her mind. In the middle of the night, she looks through the windows of the house next door—and sees her new neighbor brutally kill his wife.
Distraught, Shelby calls 911. But when the police arrive, the wife opens the door—unharmed, smiling, and very much alive.

The police dismiss Shelby as an unstable, paranoid new mother. Even her husband believes she’s suffering a breakdown after the traumatic birth. The more delusional she sounds, the more everyone questions whether she can safely care for her baby.

But something is wrong next door.

The husband is always watching Shelby. The wife hides bruises beneath her sleeves. Though the couple has no children, an infant cries inside their house at night. Then things start to disappear from the nursery.

As the perfect new neighbors infiltrate her home and marriage, Shelby questions what she saw that night. Did she hallucinate the murder? Or is someone determined to make her believe she did?

If Shelby can’t prove the murder was real, they’ll take her baby. If she can, the killer will come for them both.

The Couple Next Door meets The Hand That Rocks the Cradle in this propulsive psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Paula Hawkins, and Freida McFadden.

Kyla Stone is the USA Today bestselling author of more than twenty-five novels with over two million copies sold worldwide.

*Rated PG-13 for mild language and violence*
