Those People Next Door is another fantastic audiobook written by Kia Abdullah and narrated by Tania Rodrigues. The story follows Salma and Bilal as they negotiate the already nerve wracking process of moving into a new house and new neighborhood. They long for a new and better life for themselves and their son Zain, however things turn pretty sour very quickly.

As with Abdullah's previous books there is plenty you won't see coming and also plenty to sit and think about as she doesn't shy away from the harder topics such as racism, prejudice and harassment.

A gripping family drama meets court room drama which kept me hooked right until the very end.
