About this listen

‘Tense, clever and bitingly observed. Superb’ Claire Douglas

‘a taut, deliciously twisted tale with sting after sting… Just brilliant' John Marrs

‘Sensationally entertaining, I could not put it down’ Adele Parks

In elegant Columbia Mansions, the respectable lives of residents are shattered by a shocking murder…

When Pixie moves into the flat next door, divorced Gwen takes the young woman under her wing. She more than anyone knows how important a fresh start can be. But as Pixie becomes entangled with her charismatic landlord Alec, the lines of friendship begin to blur.

With whispers of sinister secrets passing between neighbours, Gwen realises Alec isn’t the only one with something to hide, and finds herself questioning how well she really knows the people she considered to be friends. As scandal erupts in the building, old grudges resurface, leading to a crime that will destroy the peace of Columbia Mansions forever.

Sunday Times bestseller Louise Candlish returns with this gripping and twisted story of neighbours, secrets and murder.

Another gripping read from Louise. She very cleverly weaves modern day cultural themes into the story, and puts the characters to work to critique the merits or otherwise. Thank you xxx
