About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Welcome to Willow Close, where everyone is a suspect . . .

On the day Nina and Conrad Best move into their new home in picture-perfect Willow Close a body is discovered.

Hurrying inside with their belongings, they see horrified neighbours gather by the police cordon - one of the residents has been attacked and brutally killed in the woods.

Believing someone must have seen the murderer, the police interview all the residents of the Close. They soon find out that each neighbour harbours their own secrets.

The residents of Willow Close are far from what they initially seem and strange, even dark, things happen behind their closed doors.

Nina and Conrad had thought they'd found their dream neighbourhood. But have they moved into a nightmare?

Lots of characters a bit confusing at times cause it jumps from one character to the next. Overall a good story.
Narrator spot on too!

Very good

A enjoyable listen on Audiobook while I ironed. Having lived in a small cul-de-sac as a child I could relate to all the homes and families involed.

Was this really a Lesley Pearse book? It seemed like a cheap knockoff of a premium brand. Thin characters, woeful dialogue, archaic approach to female/male roles and societal views. I only stuck with it because of a basic need to find out who actually dunnit.

Disappointing

I enjoyed this book and the way it was narrated. I have read all of Lesley’s books and enjoyed them. Whilst this is not my favourite I still enjoyed listening to it

Enjoyable but not my favourite Lesley Pearse book

I have read every one of Lesley Pearce books never felt bored with her books, this one certainly didn’t grip me. To be fair it’s the first time I’ve done her book on audible don’t know if it’s that. Keen to know if I’m the only one not liking this book?

Not her best
