Reviews

‘I was utterly addicted to Those People Next Door. It’s a stunning, thought-provoking and morally challenging read … It was so vivid and will make readers question their own values and viewpoints all in the context of a world-class story’ Graham Bartlett, author of Bad For Good ‘An enthralling, heartbreaking and thrilling courtroom drama that had me shouting out loud and gripped until the last page’ Nadine Matheson ‘If Jane Austen were alive, she would not be writing about zombies but the sorts of novels that Kia Abdullah does. They perch on society’s fault lines, observing how the codes of class and race determine actions, how good intentions can be a weakness, how a word or a gesture can lead inexorably to catastrophe … Admire the sureness with which [Abdullah] paints the bigger picture’ The Times (Thriller of the Month) ‘This powerful social drama about racism and microaggression in today’s society is a must-read’ Prima ‘A tense, clever tale about the seething underbelly of a picture-perfect suburban town’ Country and Town House ‘This gripping page-turner about nightmare neighbours explores how far ordinary people can descend to defend loved ones’ Platinum
