About this listen
4 Riverside Close is a compelling psychological thriller with a touch of mystery. If you are a fan of authors like Clare Mackintosh, Lisa Jewell and Lesley Kara, you'll love this unmissable debut.
How well do you know your neighbours? When residents of a North London cul-de-sac enrol in a seemingly innocent social network, they soon find themselves embroiled in a murky web of sinister manipulation and murder. From the outside, Caroline and Jason Swinton have an idyllic life. But when the cracks start to appear, the residents of Riverside Close are drawn into a dangerous game. When Jason’s body is discovered in a house on the close, everyone becomes a suspect.
Could his lovely wife be responsible for his murder? Or do the neighbours have a motive for wanting him dead?
As the secret lives of those living on the Close are gradually revealed, it becomes clear that someone is hiding something they will stop at nothing to protect....

Firstly, the four star goes to the audio production and the brilliant and engaging Jennifer Ness, a very talented imo, narrator who had be listening whilst I was driving, working and doing my chores. Her voice kept me with my pods in.
For the actual plot and story I have to give it just a 3* rating
How well do you know your neighbours?
When residents of a North London cul-de-sac enrol in a seemingly innocent social network, they soon find themselves embroiled in a murky web of sinister manipulation and murder.
From the outside, Caroline and Jason Swinton have an idyllic life. But when the cracks start to appear the residents of Riverside Close are drawn into a dangerous game. They have set up an online dating app where he goes on dates and blags money out of rich, unsuspecting and lonely women.
There are two main POVs in this book one is Caroline the wife of Jason aka numerous other names that totally confused me tbh and Susan the woman having an affair with Jason, the unsuspecting other woman.
I didn't really like either of these women, but I wanted to know where this particular story would go and like I've said the narrator was so good that I hung on. It's a slow thriller read, nothing really seems to happen until closer to the end when someone is found murdered, so there were pretty long stretches of nothingness, and although I didn't guess who the murderer was, I think because my focus wasn't always on the story and I was getting so confused by who was actually who, and all the identities of Jason that I admit to switching off at times. I've read so many strong and powerful thrillers that I honestly think this one's plot/story just didn't captivate me quite as much as I thought it would by the title, synopsis and cover which drew me in on Audible.
The good points, the book had well developed characters, just because I didn't identify or like any of them is not taking away from the author, Diana Wilkinson that her characters were well rounded and had immense depth. Her side characters, the old lady in the cul-de-sac was my favorite, meddlesome but sweet.
