If you struggle with your neighbours because they are a little loud on a Saturday night, or maybe they forget to bring their bins in after bin day, take a moment to breath and appreciate just how much worse it could be...
...time for you to meet Chris and Lucy, the neighbours from hell in Edwards The Magpies, trust me, you don't want to be living anywhere near this couple.
This book does what all good books do, it makes you feel, it allows you to emotionally invest in it. And boy is Edwards clever at dialling up the psychological tension, creating some pretty unpleasant situations and experiences for our other young couple, Jamie and Kirsty.
It is an uncomfortable read at times, and having discovered that Edwards himself has had personal experience of hellish neighbours allows us to appreciate and understand why this is such a good read...
