The Neighbors

Fleeing from a violent relationship, Kate Ashenberry arrives in London and finds sanctuary in a vast Victorian apartment building which will, she hopes, give her the anonymity and security she seeks. Disillusioned by her lover and abandoned by her family, she faces the prospect of Christmas alone with only a stray kitten for company. Gradually, though, she gets to know her new neighbors: the daffy, delightful Barclay-Davenports next door; exotic Eleni; high-flying Miles with his chilly, ambitious wife; uncatchable Gregory Hansen; the awful Mrs. Adelaide Potter, who dominates the other residents with her acid-tongued autocracy; and lovely Connie Boyle, the New York actress who becomes Kate's best friend. As their lives grow closer, Kate revels in her newfound friends . . . yet something is not right. Some of the residents seem almost too friendly and, occasionally, Kate feels she is being watched. It is only when the killing starts that the cozy camaraderie of Kensington Court collapses, for noone, not even Kate, can foresee which friendly neighbor may be the next victim . . . or the killer.
