Summary
 Joanna Jenkins is the author of three novels. They’re promoted as being crime (and sell very well under that label) but really they are social commentary at their best, clever, witty, propulsive. In Bad Neighbours, her returning character, Ruth Dawson, finds her ideal living space in an Art Deco building in Potts Point, The Lumen. A twenty-minute walk from her office in the city, the apartment boasts parquetry flooring, a wall of books and Harbour Bridge views from the sofa. It's perfect until Ben, the homeless guy, dies under the corrugated iron lean-to in the garden. The residents of The Lumen do little to hide their relief. They can cease their half-hearted attempts to find an acceptable solution to 'the Ben problem', and return to more important issues. They are not at all happy when Ruth brings in a detective.
