Let me introduce you to the “Nosy Neighbors” seen peeking through the mail slot of this ADORABLE book cover!!

Flat #2 is the home of the cantankerous seventy-seven-year-old Dorothy Darling -Shelley House’s longest resident. Always armed with a cup of tea, and her diary, she notes all of the coming and goings of the residence in her trusty notebook. She is seen on the left. (And, by the way that is MS. Darling to you!)

Beside her in that mail slot, on the right, is pink haired Kat Bennett. She has recently moved into Flat #1 as Joseph Chambers illegal subtenant, and she and Dorothy were not always accomplices-having gotten off on the wrong foot. Also in flat #1 is Reggie-an adorable Jack Russell terrier and scene stealer! (Or Reginald, according to Ms. Darling)

Rounding out the building is :
Flat #3 Omar Siddiq and his daughter, Ayesha
Flat #4 The anti-social tenant who frequently disturbs their peace
Flat#5 Tomas’s Wojcik and his pit bull, Princess and
Flat#6 Gloria Brown and her “latest no good”boyfriend.

This unlikely assortment of neighbors will have to band together if they have any hope of saving the historic Shelley House from demolition from an unscrupulous developer, Ferguson Alexander.

As eviction day nears, and things become dangerous, Dorothy and Kat must do something that neither one is comfortable doing-trust another person-each other-if they are to outwit and outlast Ferguson.

Once again, Freya Sampson has penned a delightful, COZY story of a community coming together, and written characters who will feel like friends by the end of the book!

There are reasons that Dorothy and Kat are both so closed off-and those secrets aren’t the only surprise revelations!

A new book from Freya Sampson is now something I am always watching for-she is three for three for me!!

And, If you haven’t read “The Lost Ticket” yet, it made my 2023 FAVORITES list.
