But when the neighbour from hell arrives, her nightmare begins.  Desperate for a decent night's sleep, Cat dreams of ways of killing him. And when her darkest thoughts become reality – and her neighbour ends up very, very dead – her life takes a sinister new turn.  Is this heaven? Or hell? Is she being framed for murder?

Reviews

Deliriously diabolical . . . ONeill is the most ingenious author I know. * The Guardian *

'Takes neighbourly friction to a whole new level. Our exasperated protagonist summons Satan in a bid to silence the resident upstairs in this pulsatingly dark thriller ...' - WATERSTONES ; 'The Devil Upstairs is Crime with a conscience, Horror with a dash of tequila, and Philosophy with a mailed fist. O'Neill's fallen-angelic prose takes you on a chilling walk down the ultimate dark alley and every step of the way you'll be nervously wondering who exactly it is who's holding your hand so tightly.' - ROBERT J. HARRIS, author of The Thirty-One Kings ; 'I was utterly hooked ... As a macabre thriller, this exciting, slightly unsettling novel held my attention from start to finish. 9/10.' - HOLLIE BRUCE, The Courier
