The Bad Neighbor — Jenifer Ruff

For newcomers Chris and Zoey Hamilton, the affluent community seems like the perfect location to build a life together. Instead, history repeats itself when Zoey vanishes without a trace-just like the previous homeowner five years ago. Enter FBI Special Agent Victoria Heslin, known for her relentless pursuit of the truth. Her investigation uncovers a history of lies and betrayal festering beneath manicured gardens and picture-perfect smiles. The more Victoria digs, the clearer it becomes: the secrets in Mountain Meadows run deep, and the greatest threats aren't lurking in the shadows...they're hosting dinner parties, attending parent-teacher conferences, doing yoga, and waving hello from behind their perfectly trimmed hedges. One of those polite, smiling individuals will stop at nothing to keep the past buried.--Publisher description.
