Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The House Across the Street by Lesley Pearse, read by Rosie Jones.
Twenty-three-year-old Katy Speed is fascinated by the house across the street. The woman who lives there, Gloria, is the most glamorous neighbour on the avenue, owning a fashionable dress shop in Bexhill-on-Sea. But who is the woman who arrives in the black car most Saturdays while Gloria is at work? Sometimes she brings women to the house, other times they have children.
Hilda, Katy's mother, disapproves of Gloria. She wonders if these mysterious visitors have just been released from prison. Is Gloria secretly bringing criminals, or worse, into the heart of the community?
Then one night, the house burns down. In the wreckage, the bodies of Gloria and her daughter are found. Katy is sure the unexplained visitors must be responsible until her father is arrested and charged with murder. Have the police arrested the correct person? Are the rest of the street safe? Can Katy find the truth before it's too late?

Dull dross
Narrated by someone sounding like a primary school teacher talking to a class of 5 year olds. Poorly written tale with dull plot. Sorry not for me.

Sadly not a winner this time
Having eagerly anticipated this book even checking the ‘Airport Exclusives’ whilst going on holiday and having read ALL Lesley Pearse’s books, I was a little disappointed with this latest release.
The story seemed to go on a bit too much with no GREAT excitement - I felt if I skipped a few pages I wouldn’t have missed out on anything. oh well - this is only the first LP book I’ve Not particularly enjoyed so that’s not bad!
More like ‘Trust Me’ please Lesley!

soooo disappointed
I just can't believe this book was written by the same person who wrote 'belle ' etc. it felt like I was reading a teenagers book. the narrating was terrible. I've read all Lesley s books and the last 2 have been rubbish. Come on Lesley what are you doing!

Not her best
Story hard to want to keep listening to. The part of what happened to her mum is very much what happened to my mum so that was interesting. The voice was a bit childish

What a let down
The story started of great and I expected a big surprise ending, but about halfway through the guilty party was discovered. I listened on expecting there to be a surprise twist, but no, just a wee love story.

Similar to woman in the wood
I loved it as I love all Lesley Pearse books, but much of it was like Woman in the Wood which I listened to just before this. I won’t go into detail to avoid spoilers but its still worth listening to for a quick book. Love the narrator.
