In THE LOVING KISS, a woman whose husband is leaving her seeks comfort from her estranged mother.
SWEET SUE is admired by all, but what is beneath that saintly exterior?
In THE COLD ROOM, neighbours scheme to rid themselves of the DIY couple next door.
THE GOOD NEIGHBOURS OF ROWAN CRESCENT become less so when one of their group loses her husband to another woman.
