    About this audiobook

    The brand-new domestic thriller from the #1 bestselling author of Obsession

    A new couple moves in next door.
    And nothing will ever be the same again…

    I watched you move in next door and thought we might be friends.

    I saw you watching from the window – and knew I’d have to keep you well away from my husband.

    I started to trust you. Confide in you.

    I started to mistrust you. Suspect you.

    I was confused when I blacked out after an evening at your place. Was I really that drunk?

    I came up with a plan. A plan to make you both pay . . .

    Sexy and sinister – this book will keep you up all night . . .

    ‘The tension builds and builds and then… BAM! Dark, gripping, brutal. I loved every minute’ Jackie Kabler

    ‘As more-ish as a box of chocolates. I kept trying to put it down, but it was almost impossible. A wickedly twisty plot with a satisfying end’ Emma Curtis

    ‘Robson delivers shock after shock in her new page-turner which is filled with characters behaving badly. Dark and utterly twisted. What a ride!’ Sam Carrington

    ‘Another addictive, wonderfully descriptive and vibrant domestic thriller from the queen of the page-turner’ Caroline England

    'A delicious tale of sinister rivalry that descends into darkness. An excellent page turner – loved it!' Elisabeth Carpenter

    What our readers think

    Readers find this title to be an okay and fun read, although not particularly unique. The book has an interesting layout with very short chapters. The story is a psychological character study involving four main characters, with three of them being clearly unbalanced. The plot has twists and turns that keep readers guessing. However, some readers may lose interest halfway through due to excessive internal dialogue. Overall, it is a pretty good listen.

      Interesting story with a very interesting book layout of very, very short chapters (198 in all). A psychological character study involving four main characters, I mean nut cases, as at least 3 out of the four are clearly unbalanced while the fourth one doesn’t stick around long enough for us to find out.
      The story struck me after quite a time as somewhat farcical (the three remaining characters seem to be playing ring around the Rosie ((or is it musical chairs?)) as first one and then the other are thrown in and then sprung out of prison for the same crime), and I couldn’t help wondering if the book is in fact supposed to be some type of parody...?
      At any rate, this is a pretty good listen which will definitely keep you guessing, with enough twists and turns to spin your head into a dizzying frenzy!

      Started out well. I lost interest about half way through. I increased the speed to 1.2. Not much seemed to be happening for a while. A bit too much internal dialogue of the characters for my liking.
    • 4/5
      This book was okay! Easy and pretty short. Fun enough to read. Not particularly unique.
    • 5/5
      I love a murder mystery but this is more more murder than mystery. With more psychopaths than the combined population of Emmerdale & Midsomer this book was a real page turner that held me in it's thrall until the very end.

      A unique storytelling style where the book's three main protagonists take it in turns to narrate in first person their thoughts in 160+ very short chapters. I was not sure of the style at the very beginning but soon got to love the quick changes of character and the audio narrators do a great job of conveying the emotion from the characters in each chapter.

      With plenty of plot twists and turns and an insight into forensic investigation this is one of the better books I've read recently and is the first one by Amanda Robson that I've tried

      On the downside some of the situations are a tad contrived and in places stretch the laws of coincidence but it's a novel not an autobiography

      Well worth it's 5 stars as it did exactly what I would expect from a novel - it entertained and kept me listening into the small hours to it's well crafted conclusion
