About this listen

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.

Nearly DNF, definitely not an 'unputdownable' thriller. Good narrator, and I liked the dynamic with Edith the elderly neighbour. I would be returning this if I had used a credit and unlikely to seek another book from this author.

Repetitive narrative

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.

Meh

The story kept me guessing throughout and kept me surprised at each turn. I enjoyed the descriptions but sometimes found the character thought tangents a bit long and distracting.

Nice Twist

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.

A little slow to get going but then the story becomes gripping, full of unexpected turns. What will happen next .... ? Interesting characters and expertly read by all the narrators.
