My Review
I think we can all attest that we have had neighbors that we don't like and are glad when either you or they move. If this is not the case, you are very lucky. The neighbors we have now are not such a problem themselves, but their dog is outside all day and night and barks nonstop. It goes on for a while before they stop their dog. While this is very annoying, I would never let it escalate to the point of killing my neighbor.
The stories in this collection feature disagreements that neighbors had with each other over small insignificant things. Nothing that should have caused people including sadly children to die.
In several of the cases, I noticed that while the killer or killers were caught, the severity of how they were charged did not seem to match the crime. I felt sad for the victims' families that it did not seem like the victims truly got justice. Overall, though this is another quick read.
