About this listen

The must-listen gothic thriller of 2021.

This is the story of a murderer. A stolen child. Revenge. This is the story of Ted, who lives with his daughter, Lauren, and his cat, Olivia, in an ordinary house at the end of an ordinary street.

All these things are true. And yet some of them are lies.

You think you know what's inside the last house on Needless Street. You think you've come across this story before. In the dark forest at the end of Needless Street, something lies buried. But it's not what you think....

Loved this book. One of my favourites recently.
The twists and turns, surprises and shocks were amazing. Just when you think you have it figured out, you really, really don't. The narration is unreal. Characters have their own personalities that are built with each voice. Very easy to find yourself lost in this story and you will have to know how it ends as quickly as possible!

Excellent! What a ride, with so many twists!

I loved the twist. it wasn't something I was expecting! I did find the performance a bit hard to follow, because it's only one person doing all voices though.

Great twist

I really enjoyed this book. Creepy, disturbing, profoundly sad and brilliant! The narrator did a 10/10 job!

Excellent book!

wow... haven't come across something like this in a very very long time. went in not knowing anything about this and was blown away by the writing, story, narrator and the twists... if you are interested in a dark psychological story full of sadness and hope then buckle in and enjoy.

Amazing, Disgusting, Heartbreaking

Genuinely unsettling throughout which is what I was looking for. At times the writing felt a bit too ‘artsy’ for me personally but many people said to persevere and I’m glad I did.
There are many misdirects throughout the book which I find to be quite annoying however when the DID element was explained, it made sense.
My biggest take away was that it gave a brilliant insight into living with DID.

SPOILERS AHEAD!
