About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

You know your neighbours are plotting a crime but no one believes you . . .


Do you trust the couple next door?

When Lena overhears a conversation between her next-door-neighbours she thinks she must have misheard. After all, the Morgans are a kind, retired couple who have moved to a suburban street in Bristol where nothing ever happens. But it sounded like they were planning a crime.

Her family and friends tell her that she’s made a mistake. Yet Lena can’t stop thinking about it. Because what if they are about to do something terrible? What if she can prevent it?

And what if, in doing so, it might help ease her conscience about her own dark past . . .

Gripping tale!

A very enjoyable listen. Excellent narration.Intriguing storyline. I liked the fact that there was a past and a present.It was a very good plot and I would recommend this audible to fans of Clare Douglas.

Tell not show

Too much neurotic exposition. Narrator tells you what to think. Central character views everything from its impact on her

Nice

Overall, I really enjoyed it. While the story was quite predictable in many parts, it still managed to keep me engaged and curious to see how everything would unfold. It had a nice pace, a few twists that kept things interesting, and just enough suspense to hold my attention. Not a perfect thriller, but definitely an entertaining listen. Three stars from me – light, fun, and easy to get into!

Not as good as others

Usually love this author but found this a drag. Just a bit boring, not much actual story just a lot of waffle

Brilliant!

I love Claire Douglas' books and this one did not disappoint. I was hooked from the beginning of the audio book right through to the end. A story full of twists and turns that kept me guessing and the narration was spot on too. I would highly recommend!

Enjoyed the twist

Got through this very quickly, and I did enjoy the story, especially the twist at the end. Try it.

A little disappointed

I have loved all of Claire Douglas' books so far and couldn't wait for this one to come out, but I was a little disappointed and felt not a lot really happened in this book when compared with her others. It was ok but not one of my favourites.
