Cath is a photographer with big dreams of going freelance, but she's currently working in a record shop to make ends meet. Her manager, Steve, believes that her photography is like detective work, highlighting things that would otherwise go unnoticed. He might be onto something, as Cath's new project involves capturing the eerie atmosphere of murder houses.
Returning to the island where she grew up, Cath revisits the place that shaped her identity. The Isle of Bute holds a special place in her heart, with its draughty house overlooking the bay, the sense of isolation, and the tragic memory of her childhood friend Shirley Craigie and the devastating family murder perpetrated by her father, John Craigie.
Upon arriving at the Craigie house, Cath is surprised to find it occupied by Financial Analyst Alice Rahman. Alice's decision to escape the fast-paced city life and the anxiety she felt in that world brought her to settle on the island. The peculiar situation brings them closer together, sparking a reinvestigation into the Craigie murder.
Within the walls of the Craigie house, Cath delves into the enigmatic nature of John Craigie. She uncovers his hidden obsession with the artwork of Richard Dadd and the local myths of fairy folk. The Good Neighbours is a captivating exploration of the unknowability of the past, the fallibility of memory, and the powerful influence of myths in shaping human narratives. Author Nina Allan skillfully weaves together the imagined and the real, creating a haunting story that delves into memory, obsession, and the liminal spaces our minds navigate to escape trauma.
