About this listen

‘I was gripped immediately’ Katerina Diamond, Sunday Times bestseller

How much do you know about the couple next door?

When Emily and Ben move in next door to Dr Burman and his wife Alisha, they are keen to get to know their new neighbours. Outgoing and sociable, Emily tries to befriend the doctor’s wife, but Alisha is strangely subdued, barely leaving the house, and terrified of answering the phone.

When Emily goes missing a few weeks later, Ben is plunged into a panic. His wife has left him a note, but can she really have abandoned him for another man? Or has Emily’s curiosity about the couple next door led her straight into danger?

A gripping, sinister thriller with a twist you won’t see coming from the international bestseller Lisa Stone.

Good story line, well narrated, completed in 2 days as I couldn't wait to hear what was going to happen, kept me guessing.

Really Enjoyed This One

I listened to this book in one sitting. Hooked from the very first chapter, my heart racing willing the characters to pick up on the clues. Chilling right to the very end. If you like thrillers you won’t be disappointed.

Truly gripping

Implausible, which of course most fiction is and that’s the point of fiction I suppose. I didn’t empathise with any of the characters and I really need that connection in a book. Obviously, some of the characters were supposed to be villains but even the “nice” ones I found irritating and I don’t know whether it was in the writing or the performance. But, I’ve said before, I couldn’t write a novel and certainly couldn’t narrate so what right do I have to comment?! It was easy listening on a rainy day.

Odd!

...but the final destination was disappointing. The characters had a few quirks I found to be not believable, even after suspending disbelief.

this was an exciting journey...
