Bad Neighbors

A comic novel of the new neighbor from hell who looks like an angel. Anita Jamison is no angel: she has a stolid husband and a lawyer boyfriend and is too busy to be overly house-proud or to lavish much attention on her daughters. But when Sue moves in next door as a fussy gingham-aproned ever-smiling paragon, Anita begins to feel threatened. Sue bakes cakes for the Jamisons; she cleans their fridge. Somehow only the kids can see what is really going on, and gradually get an inkling of the truth about Sue.
