Nosy Neighbors

Dorothy Darling is 77 and has lived in Shelley House for decades. Known for being cantankerous, she keeps tabs on everyone in the building, making daily rounds and taking meticulous notes. Pink-haired 25-year-old Kat Bennett is illegally subletting a room in the building. After a tumultuous childhood, she thinks she might be able to let down her guard and settle in at Shelley House. When the residents receive eviction notices informing them that their building will be torn down, these two less-than-neighborly women band together, bringing their entire community along as they try to save their home. Then mysterious occurrences threaten the tenants, and the neighbors-turned-sleuths must get to the bottom of the mystery. Sampson’s (The Lost Ticket) latest follows a group of misfits who join forces for the common good. Sarah Lambie shows her talent with her nimble narration of grumpy Dorothy and prickly Kat, creating well-rounded and charming portraits of each.
