That depends on which 'next door neighbor' book you mean. The phrase gets used for a bunch of things, from thrillers to romances. The most popular one I can think of is Shari Lapena's 'The Couple Next Door'—though the title's a little different. The main characters there are Anne and Marco Conti, a couple whose baby goes missing from their home during a party next door. The investigation also focuses on their neighbors, Cynthia and Graham, and a detective named Rasbach.
Honestly, Anne drove me a bit nuts with her passivity, but Marco's secretive nature is what really amps up the tension. The book plays heavily on the 'you never really know the people living beside you' theme, making the neighbor characters central to the unraveling mystery. It's less about a single protagonist and more about this web of suspicion connecting the two households.

I just ran into this search myself a week ago. Assuming you mean the one by Ellery Chen, 'Next Door Neighbor'? It's kind of a tricky one to find for free. It got picked up by a platform like Webnovel or MoboReader after it got popular, so the early chapters are scattered across aggregator sites that scrape content, but those are a mess with missing pages and terrible ads.
Your best legal shot is to check the official apps. I think it's serialized on MoboReader now—they usually have a 'read for free with tickets' system or a daily unlock. It's slower, but you're supporting the author, which matters if you want the story to actually finish. Some of those scraper sites have the whole thing, but the translation quality plummets halfway through, and you'll hit a dead end with the latest updates.

I assume you're talking about the novel 'The Next Door Neighbor' by Freida McFadden? It's a standalone thriller, not connected to a series. I remember picking it up because I'd burned through all the domestic suspense series I follow and needed a one-off palate cleanser. It works perfectly for that—a self-contained, twisty story about the new neighbor who isn't what she seems.
That said, McFadden has written a ton of books, many of which are also standalones. If you're looking for a series from her, you'd want something like 'The Housemaid' books instead. But 'Next Door Neighbor' wraps everything up by the final page, no cliffhangers. It's actually refreshing not to have to commit to three more novels to get a resolution.

I get why this question comes up so often — titles like 'The Neighbor Next Door' feel like they could hide a real-life horror or a juicy domestic scandal. From what I’ve dug into, there isn’t a single definitive book by that title that’s universally accepted as a straight-up true story. Plenty of books and novellas use the neighbor-next-door trope, and some authors will admit they pulled inspiration from real events, newspaper clippings, or things that happened to people they know. But that’s different from a strict, reporter-style true account: most of those novels are fictionalized, with characters, timelines, and scenes changed for drama.
If you want to be absolutely sure about a specific edition or author, check the front or back matter — author’s notes, acknowledgments, and the publisher’s blurb usually say whether the work is ‘inspired by true events’ or entirely fictional. I’ll admit I’m drawn to the ones that blur the line; they feel more chilling when you can imagine real people behind the pages. Personally, I enjoy discovering which parts came from life and which are pure invention, it gives the book an extra layer for me.

The 'House Next Door' by Anne Rivers Siddons is this eerie, Southern Gothic horror novel that burrows under your skin. It follows Colquitt and Walter Kennedy, a well-off couple living in a pristine Atlanta suburb. Their lives take a turn when a modern, architecturally stunning house is built next door—and then the horrors begin. Every family that moves in meets some tragic fate: affairs, madness, gruesome accidents. The Kennedys start noticing the pattern, but no one believes them because the house itself seems untouched, almost innocent. It's this slow, insidious dread that creeps up, like the house is a living thing with a malevolent will.
What I love is how Siddons blends suburban satire with supernatural horror. The house isn't haunted in the traditional sense; it's more like a mirror reflecting the darkest corners of human nature. The Kennedys' desperation to convince others feels so real—you get their frustration as their perfect neighborhood unravels. The ending? Chillingly ambiguous. It leaves you wondering if the evil was ever in the house... or just in people all along. Still gives me goosebumps when I pass a too-quiet suburban home at dusk.
