“In simple, elegant language, Leah Stewart draws us to a little pond hidden away in the mountains of Tennessee...[and] never relaxes her tight focus on these complex characters.”—New York Times Book Review
“Two women—a snoopy old lady and a young mom with a mysterious past who moves in nearby—discover each other’s dark secrets.” –Good Housekeeping (“Thrills and Chills”)
“After only a few pages into Leah Stewart's The New Neighbor, the shrewd sharp voice of one of its main characters kept me reading.” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)
“A chilling page-turner.”—People (People Picks)
“Leah Stewart skillfully captures conversational nuance and family alienation.”—The Charlotte Observer
“A truly fine absorbing novel; the finest new novel this reader has discovered so far this season. Highly, highly recommended.”—Hudson Valley News
"One of the protagonists of Leah Stewart's new novel, The New Neighbor, reads mystery novels, and only mystery novels, but she is a snob about them: she only wants to read the best. Well, she would love, love, love The New Neighbor, which is as tense and as tough-minded and as ingeniously structured as our best mystery novels, and our best literary novels, too. A major new book by one of our most psychologically astute writers." (Brock Clarke, author of The Happiest People in the World)
“A quiet standout...[Stewart] choreographs a near-perfect perfect psychological dance here, her Jennifer and Margaret pulsing with life and her storyline, a la ‘Rear Window,’ keeps us guessing to the end.”--Buffalo News
“The writing is beautiful, and [Leah Stewart] does an impressive job of giving the reader a sense of place.”--Mystery Scene
“Stewart deftly writes about the nuances of friendship and motherhood, as well as the past’s unpleasant ability to take over the present.”--BookPage
“Readers who like an unhurried pace, an element of mystery, and plenty of symbolism will be satisfied as Stewart brings her tale to a surprising conclusion.”—Library Journal
“A promising exploration of the secrets we all carry and our refusal to forgive ourselves.” (Publishers Weekly)
