Three new neighbors, two missing women, and one grad student who can't mind her own business.---

Socially apathetic but intensely curious anthropology grad student Jack Bardot spends a lot of time observing others. More specifically, the lives of her neighbors through her window. The horseshoe layout of the Edison, a beautiful, university-owned apartment building, gives Jack the perfect vantage point. She's a semi-professional people-watcher... what else is she going to do?

As the deadline to finalize her research question draws near, Jack avoids real life to fixate on the two new sets of neighbors who arrived at the start of summer. But maybe it's not pure procrastination, because the interaction between the married couple in 2D and the flirty summer subletter in 2E is providing all the inspiration she needs.

But when someone goes missing, Jack starts to wonder what her neighbors are really up to. Especially once she learns that a suspicious death from twenty years ago and a second missing person are both connected to her new neighbor.

Now, Jack's predilection for people-watching has put her in danger.

Can she figure out what's going on before it's too late?

About the Author

Margot spent ten years in academia and psychology research before throwing up her hands with frustration and finding something that could similarly mess with her head (being an author). But at least now she's her own boss. Margot now uses her PhD in psychology mostly for good (writing), but sometimes for evil (overthinking), while she strives to find that balance between spending quality time with her favorite people and sweet, sweet time alone with her stories (TV shows, movies, books). After a stint in London (England) and Toronto (Canada), Margot now lives in a tiny but delightful apartment in Auckland (NZ), without any pets or husbands. ( Bi Myself.)
