Publisher's Summary

DISCOVER THE MOST UNPUTDOWNABLE PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER OF THE YEAR. WINNER OF THE JOFFE BOOKS PRIZE 2023.

Love thy neighbour. Fear thy neighbour.

I thought moving to this quiet cul-de-sac was the fresh start my husband and I needed, escaping the noise of our cramped flat in Hounslow. I left India and all that was familiar for a new life with him in England.

But my husband works all hours, leaving me alone in a house that doesn’t feel like a home.

Our neighbours notice the bruises on my arms. They draw the obvious conclusions.

They seem kind, but they’re hiding something.

I just can’t shake the feeling that someone is always watching me . . . waiting.

My husband’s working late. Again. That’s when I see it.

A face pressed to the glass.

A hand waving.

It couldn’t be. Could it?

This utterly gripping and unputdownable psychological thriller full of shocking twists is perfect for fans of Steena Holmes, Freida McFadden, E.V. Seymour, Dandy Smith, Sonya Bateman or Nicole Trope.

My favourite audiobook

This is my new favourite audiobook. So many twists and turns. I loved Sapna and Edith’s strength and friendship. It was narrated perfectly too. Just a fantastic book from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Great storyline

Loved it, gripping but easy to listen to at the same time. Loved the mixed of ethnicities and knew the area they spoke of so reminded me a bit of my uk homeland.

Easy listen

Easy listen but uneventful and a bit boring. Story builds up but is then quite repetitive with not much of an outcome.

Easy listening

This book was an easy listen not over complicated but sometimes annoying with the main character.

Meh

I was waiting for the story to improve, the characters became less liable as the story progressed, hoping for an amazing twist, one never came.

Gave up

Seemed like it was going to be an interesting story but increasingly I cared less and less about the characters. It became increasingly boring so gave up halfway through.

Interesting story with a few twists and turns

I really enjoyed this story. It held a few apprised and kept me curious and interested. It was an easy read with a heartwarming epilogue. Narrator did a great job too.
