Summary

From the bestselling author of Mad Love and American Girl comes a propulsive domestic thriller with a spectacular twist and an acclaimed cast.

They were best friends forever—until the night one of them disappeared. The Room Next Door is a full-cast domestic thriller from bestselling author Wendy Walker (Mad Love, American Girl), performed by Julia Whelan and a stellar ensemble.

In 2010, Brooke, Carrie, and Eve were inseparable—until Eve vanished one Fourth of July and was never found. Brooke moved away; Carrie never let go, her obsession driving her all the way to Chief of Police. Fifteen years later, just as Carrie prepares to close the case for good, an anonymous call delivers a chilling new lead. Days later, a man's body is pulled from the water—and his murder traces back to a hotel where the guest in the room next door was Brooke Lowry.

Brooke was there that night, with her lover. Through the wall they heard something violent—but to speak up would mean exposing the affair. As Carrie digs into both cases and Brooke scrambles to cover her tracks, Eve's own voice rises from the past, unraveling fifteen years of lies.

A twisty, immersive psychological thriller with a spectacular final reveal. Perfect for fans of domestic-suspense thrillers like The Devoted Wife and The Widower.

Contains mature themes. Listener discretion advised.

Editorial Review

Check-in to your next listening obsession
Wendy Walker has done it again! She’s given us not one, not two, but three fantastic unreliable narrators—my favorite kind—in this twisty thriller that grabbed me from the first chapter and never let go. Set in a small US coastal town, The Room Next Door starts with a bang. A couple having an affair in a hotel overhear a possible crime occur in the room next door. The investigation into what happens next cleverly ties into the unsolved disappearance of a young woman years before. Julia Whelan, Elizabeth Evans, and Bebe Wood lead a full cast of performers, giving voice to three best friends who once shared everything, until one of them went missing. Now, 15 years later, shocking new evidence surfaces that calls everything into question. Clear your calendar, because I guarantee you'll devour this in one sitting just like I did. —Margaret H., Audible Editor
