About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The gripping new thriller from the No. 1 bestselling author of The Couple Next Door.

It can be hard keeping secrets in a tight-knit neighbourhood.

In a tranquil, leafy suburb of ordinary streets – one where everyone is polite and friendly – an anonymous note has been left at some of the houses.

‘I’m so sorry. My son has been getting into people’s houses. He’s broken into yours.’

Who is this boy, and what might he have uncovered? As whispers start to circulate, suspicion mounts.

And when a missing local woman is found murdered, the tension reaches breaking point. Who killed her? Who knows more than they’re telling? And how far will all these very nice people go to protect their secrets?

Maybe you don’t know your neighbour as well as you thought you did . . .

I didn't hold out a lot of hope for this book when it started but it got better after the first 3 chapters and then took off. I didn't much like any of the husband's but the author developed them well and made them largely unlikeable. The wives were understandable as characters.

A better story than I expected

Thoroughly enjoyed my second novel from this writer. It was excellent, made my workouts and commutes much easier while listening to this.
The reader did a wonderful job with the different characters too. Look forward to another book.

Loved it.

most impressed with ending, certainly unexpected conclusion, would like to have seen victims husband go down for something but I guess that will be the next book. Thanks for an interesting read

so many possible guilty persons

The plot got more intriguing and twisty with each new chapter. A tale of the interwoven lives of people living in glass houses.

Well Done

While I liked the story I found the drastic fluctuations in the reader's volume made it difficult to listen. Lowering the volume to protect my ears during loud speech made it nearly impossible to hear when her speech dipped to almost a whisper. I appreciate her attempt to place focus and create interest but the big changes in volume across the reading was just too much for me.
Overall I think the story was OK, my experience with the performance has, unfortunately, overshadowed any thoughts I may have had on the story itself.
