About this listen

When Joe and Christy Davenport step behind the Oxford-blue-painted door of their 'forever' home, they believe their dreams have come true. Yet the boxes aren't even unpacked before a series of events leads Christy to become obsessed with the previous occupant, the glamorous, enigmatic Amber Fraser, whose departure from Lime Park Road is shrouded in mystery.

What happened to her? And why are Joe and Christy's attempts at friendship with neighbours met with an unnerving silence?

Christie really annoyed me. I still don't really understand why she cared quite so much. Slightly anti climactic and too many characters. It was enjoyable though to an extent and it kept me interested.

Characters that I struggled to understand

A good story but the voice far too prim for the Amber character. Overall enjoyable.

Good yarn.

Story was a bit slow compared to other Candlish books Ive read. I found Christie to just be a nosy meddling neighbour, glad I don’t live next to her! However I did enjoy the book. It’s well written and engaging.

Don’t know if you could call this a psychological thriller

Held my attention but was a little long winded for me...in places I felt impatient for the pace to speed up a little.

Intriguing plot..

I really enjoyed everything about this book what a great author. The characters were so well defined and the narration excellent. There were no real twists or dark threads just a story about relationships and obsession. I would recommend this as a great holiday listen. I am enjoying all of this authors books.
