About this listen

A BRAND-NEW totally addictive psychological thriller with a twist you won’t see coming.

Just when I thought I’d got my life back together, a handsome stranger moves in across the street. He says he lost his wife six months ago. He says he’s here for a fresh start. But I think he might be a killer.

Three months ago, a serial killer tore through our perfect little community. But he’s dead now, and I’m doing my best to pretend everything’s normal — pot roasts, Pilates, and that my stepson TJ didn’t upend our lives the minute he arrived.

That was before the new neighbour moved in.

Damian Mankiewicz is a good-looking, friendly, charming widower. But there’s something off about him. The box in his hallway marked Do Not Open. The house he bought — the one where a girl was found murdered. And the way he always seems to be watching.

When a local teenager goes missing, the whispers start all over again. About TJ. About me. About what really happened here.

I’ve already been through hell once. I’m not doing it again. If the widower is hiding something, I’ll find out — before someone else disappears for good.

A jaw-dropping thriller about secrets, suspicion, and the dark side of suburbia. Welcome to The Estates.

Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst, Valerie Keogh and T.M. Logan.

I enjoyed listening to the book. Easy listening whilst walking and training at the gym.

Kept me interested to the end.

It says this is a standalone, but definetly read the step son first, it gives you the backstory to make it all make more sense. Ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, there will be a third. Everytime I thought I had it figured out, there was a twist that went the other way

Waiting on the next instalment!

weak and confusing plot. unclear ending.

Too many cheesy lines and poor plot and story line. Best part of the book was the readers performance.

Not worth the time
