It’s finally here, launch day! After months of writing, editing, and holding my breath through every twist and turn, I’m so excited to introduce you to The Neighbour, my latest thriller.
This short story is dark, twisty, and packed with suspense and is available to purchase in paperback and eBook via Amazon and my website.
What is The Neighbour about?
Safety should be the foundation of every home, and home is supposed to be a haven, not a haunting. This, alongside the hidden lives many of us lead behind closed doors, and the idea that someone you’re supposed to trust could be capable of something unthinkable, is where the idea for The Neighbour was born.
The Neighbour is a short story of resilience, paranoia, a woman’s fight to leave, to break free from her abusive relationship, reclaim her identity and do what it takes to protect the one thing that matters most, her daughter.
Why you should read it
This is more than just a book. This story serves as a testament to resilience, new beginnings, and the quiet but undeniable power of taking back control.
Twists that will keep you guessing
Short, sharp chapters
A jaw-dropping yet satisfying ending
Early praise for The Neighbour

"Manani does what she does best; she brings to life a story that’s both terrifying and inspiring." – Danielle Morris, Author
"This book gave me goosebumps the entire way through." – Michelle Young, Author
"Don’t let the fact that this is a short read fool you. It definitely packs a punch! From the first page I felt my anxiety rising and it never offered a reprieve. Each page continued to go up another notch, that had me thinking, WTH? This domestic thriller was not only highly entertaining, but it also reminds us how much strength we have when we least expect it. What I’ve come to realize about this author is that her books touch on real world topics, yet she does so in a way that her writing is so entertaining you don’t even see how much your getting “schooled” until it’s over. That being said, Arti Manani has done it again, and I highly recommend this one too." – Jolene
"Short enough to read in one sitting, strong enough to stay in your mind." – Vicky Chapman
"Arti has an excellent ability to convey feelings of anxiety and dread through her writing, transporting the reader straight into the mindset of Olivia in her signature style." – Norman Hayes
"Arti doesn't really give you the choice to put the book down because each chapter ends with so much tension and suspense that it leaves you wanting more..." – Steve Wills
