But when the locals start resenting these second-home owners and start #NJFA (not just for August) protests, things get out of hand. Instead of sipping ros\u00e9 on the veranda, it\u2019s all menacing graffiti painted on walls and throwing rotten tomatoes and luxury cars. And murder. HQ Publishers<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

But she doesn\u2019t know why she\u2019s given a cold stare. Or why she\u2019s warned to \u2018be careful of your neighbours\u2019. Or why there are shadowy figures watching her. A thrill a minute! Poisoned Press Publishers<\/em><\/p>\n
