Summary
I should never have become friends with the couple upstairs....
The first time I step inside this cosy apartment with its sash windows, just minutes from the sea, I think it would be the perfect place for me and my partner Zac to start again. A chance to leave our troubled past behind.
Chris and Vanessa, the couple upstairs, are so welcoming: smiles, flowers, a home-baked cake. It’s strange how he does all the talking, and she seems so shy, but I’m just thrilled to have new friends nearby.
But everything starts to go wrong...my business begins to crumble, I can’t ignore the whispers at our housewarming party and loud arguments from upstairs keep me awake at night. I can’t sleep, I can’t think straight and I feel like someone is watching me in my own home.
And then Zac comes home one afternoon, his face clenched with fury, and says he knows what’s going on. He knows about my secret....
He won’t listen to me. He storms out and I’m left in tears, completely devastated.
Why has my life fallen apart since we moved here? Am I going mad? Or is someone trying to destroy us?
If only I’d known what I know now.
If only I hadn’t trusted the couple upstairs.
From the USA Today best-selling author Shalini Boland comes an absolutely heart-thumping psychological thriller with a twist you won’t see coming. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl and The Wife Between Us.

"I have goosebumps.... This book is EVERYTHING!... Had I known I was in for such a wild ride I would have started reading this book earlier in the day instead of being kept all night!" (ThrillByThePage Book Blogger)

Lightweight
I guess it had all the right ingredients, just rather ordinary, and perhaps a bit exaggerated in places. Hard to suspend disbelief when people behave too strangely.
The publishers text says it all really. Couple move into a downstairs flat, the neighbours upstairs cause them problems. Domestic thriller written from the woman's point of view. As usual, all the main characters are in their 30s.

I have liked this author in the past but this book seems to take too long to spin out a story. Not really gripping. I enjoy the narrator but overall quite average without too much depth! Plus.. spoiler alert.. Zac????

loved it,
had me double guessing a couple of times but I soon guessed who the bad guy was.
I lived above a person just like this so it touched a nerve a bit.

predictable
Very well narrated but unfortunately I guessed the ending very very early on. And the main character was annoyingly "proper" though Im sure it was intended :) to be fair, I did want to read on throughout the whole thing, despite the predictable ending

Great listen
Great audiobook, easy to follow but with enough twists to keep you interested. The narrator has a pleasant voice.
