The New Neighbor by Carter Wilson

Aidan Marlowe's current life:
- Lost his wife due to an aneurysm
- Found out he won the lottery at her funeral
- Moved to a new house in a new neighborhood
- Received creepy, threatening letter telling him to never leave said new house

Carter Wilson wrote quite the detailed psychological suspense novel. Aidan's past is shocking, his present is filled with booze, and his future is uncertain. I enjoyed the building suspense and increasing unreliability of the details we are given as readers. I honestly couldn't guess all the twists, and let's be honest, thrillers where we can't guess everything are the best! Gary Bennett was a fantastic narrator, and I greatly enjoyed the audio copy of this book.

Thanks to Dreamscape Media for the gifted copy of this ALC and to Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC.
