Synopsis


From behind the curtains, Sarah spotted the man coming out of the house, followed by the woman. It would be strange seeing people in the property. She wondered how much it would change their lives. For now, she would bide her time and hopefully get to know them better. She needed to gain their trust. When I met Richard, I fell for him instantly. He was able to give me everything I had always wanted, the dream house, security and above all, love like I’d never known. We lived a quiet life in the middle of nowhere; we didn’t need anyone else. So, when the empty house next door is sold, I am wary. Will our neighbours invade the perfect life Richard has built for us? As soon as I meet Juliette and Danny, I am reassured. Overwhelmed by grief after the death of their young daughter, they have moved in search of a quiet life and a chance to start again. Over dinner one evening, we hit it off instantly and I know they are just the neighbours we need. All is well until Juliette spots a young girl in our garden. Richard convinces her that she is seeing things, that it’s the grief taking over. But Juliette won’t let it go. She is sure she saw a child. She believes that Richard is threatening her. She starts to think that I’m not safe. I need to convince Juliette that she’s imagining it. I need to keep Richard happy. If I am to protect everything I have built for myself, she must never find out the truth. That my perfect life is built on the deadliest lie. A heart-stopping psychological thriller with a truly brilliant twist, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, T.M. Logan and K.L. Slater.


My Review


This was a brilliant thrilling book, I loved every minute of it. I listened to the audiobook and loved the narrator. In fact she was perfect for the book. She really brought out the tension and suspense in the story. This book had an excellent story line that took me on a roller coaster ride with its fantastic twists in the tale. The ending was wow amazing but im not going to give anything away. The way the author created the characters was truly brilliant leading me to connect with them easily. I just couldn't believe how much the suspension in this book built up to. I was at the edge of my seat and binge reading it to see what was going to happen next. I will definitely be looking out for more books by this author. She is definitely one to watch out for.

So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating a book so full of fantastic tension that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
