o. 23 Beulah Grove is the kind of place people end up when they have nowhere else to go. A decaying South London boarding house with thin walls, locked doors and tenants who keep to themselves, it’s the perfect refuge for those trying to escape their pasts — or bury their secrets.
Collette is running from a man who wants her dead. Cher is a teenager with nowhere safe to sleep. Thomas is invisible by choice, the Iranian asylum-seeker is hiding in fear, and the quiet man in the corner flat… well, nobody really knows him at all. Watching over them from the ground floor is Vesta, the ageing tenant who thinks she’s seen it all.
But when a sudden, grisly accident forces the unlikely neighbours into an uneasy alliance, they begin to realise that one of them is far more dangerous than the rest. Someone in the building is a killer — meticulous, patient, and ready to strike again.
As a suffocating heatwave grips the city, tensions rise, secrets leak, and the horror lurking behind one locked door threatens to engulf them all.
A dark, original and compulsively readable thriller, The Killer Next Door will make you think twice about who lives on the other side of your wall.

Book Condition Guide
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| New | A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage. |
| As New | The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years. |
| Fine | The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked. |
| Near Fine | The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition. |
| Very Good | The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present. |
| Good | A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy. |
| Fair | A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity. |
| Poor | A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance. |
