An Explosive Read! THE NEIGHBORHOOD by Matthew Betley
It’s not such a beautiful day in the neighborhood …
From the critically acclaimed author of the Logan West thrillers comes a can’t-miss, brand-new novel that proves Matthew Betley is the modern master of the unputdownable page-turner.
It was supposed to be just another ordinary night…
What happens when your neighborhood harbors a secret so destructive that dangerous men are willing to kill for it?
Welcome to Hidden Refuge, a normal American subdivision full of normal American suburbanites. At least that’s what the citizens thought before men impersonating police officers show up on their doorsteps in the middle of the night. Once the entire community is under siege, so begins a long, dark night that will prove to be anything but ordinary.
But Zack Chambers, suburban family man and programmer by trade, has his own secret. One he had dearly hoped that he’d never need to use again. The deadly ex–CIA agent and trained operative plots to take back the night, doing whatever it takes to protect his neighborhood.
In the face of a small army of trained killers, he’s got his wits, his babysitter, his equally lethal brother, and a ragtag group of neighbors willing to help.
Action-packed and relentless with twists and turns and old scores to be settled, this propulsive and brilliantly plotted can’t-miss thriller brings a shocking end you won’t see coming. Fans of Matthew Betley’s trademark blend of gritty realism and edge-of-your-seat action will be delighted.
Released: August 2022
My ThoughtsThe Neighborhood is an explosive, wild, tense, and intense read!
From the opening pages, we know things in the idyllic neighborhood of Hidden Refuge are about to go horribly wrong. The action is breathless, taking us through the tangled lives of a few residents and someone on the outside whose sociopathic narcissism is about to shatter their world.
Interspersed we have a second timeline, which is our hero’s backstory. Here we gradually put the pieces together, leading us to where the stories collide.
If you like thrillers loaded with action, a complex plot, and lovable characters, this is the book for you.
