About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Lana and Roman Wade
have fled the city for a little corner of paradise, exchanging their flat with its unhappy memories for a small honey-coloured house among the rolling green hills of Oxfordshire. Their new home, set in a residential Close known as The Gardens, is their dream and their new neighbours are charming.
So why is Lana feeling so uneasy?

Lana and Roman may seem like an attractive, popular couple. But they are also a couple with a secret; a secret buried in the life they have left behind, a secret they have shared with no-one.

But their new neighbours - these charming, affluent men and women in the Gardens - have secrets of their own.
Terrible secrets; unimaginable secrets that include the apparently happy family who lived - and tragically died - in Lana and Roman's new home.

As Lana struggles to adjust to her new life in Paradise, she becomes convinced that her new neighbours are hiding something from her, something connected with the deaths of the family who lived in her house before she did, something that could put her own life in danger...

The People Next Door is a psychological thriller full of twists and turns, a murder mystery wrapped in a love story, and a love story wrapped in a murder mystery. It is about the secrets we all keep - and what we will do for love.

Critic Reviews

'Had me gripped from start to finish' (Jane Fallon)
'The People next Door is an absolute triumph. I inhaled this book in just a couple of sittings. A creeping tale of hidden secrets that crackles with tension like static electricity. Full of gasp-inducing twists and a breath-taking climax. Just brilliant.' (Neil Lancaster)
'Creepy, paranoid and shocking' (Alex Michaelides)
'Twisty, insightful and completely absorbing' (Celia Walden)
'A brilliant page-turning thriller' (Piers Morgan)
'As elegant and vivid as ever' (Daily Mail)
'Builds like a Hitchcock classic' (Peterborough Telegraph)
'Everyone needs to buy and read it' (Rob Rinder)

I think Keaton Thomas’s voice was a bit weak in his part of the story.
