Summary

A brilliantly creepy and utterly mesmerising novel about the neighbours from hell, from the author of the best-selling Lie with Me

One woman's secret is her neighbour's opportunity.

Ailsa Tilson moves with her husband and children to Trinity Fields in search of the new. 

New project - a house to renovate. New people - no links to the past. New friends - especially her next-door neighbour, the lonely Verity, who needs her help. 

Verity has lived in Trinity Fields all her life. She's always resisted change. Her home and belongings are a shield, a defence to keep the outside world at bay. But something about the Tilsons piques her interest. 

Just as her ivy creeps through the shared garden fence, so Verity will work her way into the Tilson family. 

And once they realise how formidable she can be, it might well be too late.

"A masterly slow-burn gripper." (Louise Candlish)

"Deliciously sly yet also profoundly moving - a twisty game of cat and mouse that keeps the reader guessing at every step." (JP Delaney)

"'Pitch-perfect. I absolutely loved it." (Lucy Dawson)

It took a while but once I was hooked it became really intriguing. Excellent read.

dull dull dull

After 5 or 6 chapters I was ready to give up on this book. the only reason I didn't return it, is because it was a £3 sale purchase. so I persevered. and I persevered till the end, and sadly that's all I can call it. it was so dull, with nothing even remotely engrossing at all. a very dull listen

Finders Keepers

A strange story full of rather ghastly characters. Juluet Stevenson is brilliant. The accents and intonation are perfect.

Stunning

Was hooked from the start. Well observed and a great mix of the seemingly mundane with shocking revelations.

Finders, Keepers

I always enjoy listening to Sabine Durrant's psychological novels as they're brilliantly crafted and well-written. This book was truly excellent, a study of gentrification and loneliness with the added bonus that my middle cousin was very much like the Tilsons. It was long, but it was so good that I didn't mind.

Juliet Stevenson was generally a good narrator especially with her upper-middle class characters, although Ailsa in particular had that shrillness which waspish women often have. Miss Stevenson's portrayal of Verity, the unreliable narrator, was a bit too 'cockney' because the character was too isolated to pick up the local parlance; it reminded me of her performance of Keira Knightley's mother in 'Bend It Like Beckham'.

Disappointing!

I have enjoyed several of Sabine Durrant' s other books and I usually love Juliet Stevenson's narration; not the case here! Stevenson's narration is abrasive and like a parody. The story is okay, quite intriguing; takes a very long time to get going.

Should get an award

Brilliant story, superbly written with great narration. I love it. Have read two previous books of Sabine’s and loved both of those but this one was completely different and even better. Fully recommend.
