About this listen
The electrifying new thriller from the author of the word-of-mouth best-selling sensation The Wicked Girls, Alex Marwood.
No. 23 has a secret. In this bedsit-riddled south London wreck, lorded over by a lecherous landlord, something waits to be discovered. Yet all six residents have something to hide. Collette and Cher are on the run; Thomas is a reluctant loner; while a gorgeous Iranian asylum seeker and a 'quiet man' nobody sees try to stay hidden. And watching over them all is Vesta - or so she thinks.
In the dead of night, a terrible accident pushes the neighbours into an uneasy alliance. But one of them is a killer, expertly hiding their pastime, all the while closing in on their next victim.... As a cloying heatwave suffocates the city, events build to an electrifying climax in this dark, original, and irresistibly compelling thriller.

Critic reviews
The word on this one is that it's quite as good as "The Wicked Girls". I wouldn't know, because that book is not available to members of Audible. So it would seem I have to unsuscribe and then suscribe again to get that book. And it's not the first time this happened to a book I was looking for.
I wished I could buy the first book!

Any additional comments?
I listened to this book straight through and thoroughly enjoyed it. Alex Marwood explored all her characters bringing them to life. She injected wonderful black humour with a disgusting landlord, a Norman Bates style killer, a chirpy young girl who really lived up to her name "Cher" and of course the requisite baddie. The overflowing basement flat and the description left me wondering if I actually wanted to eat my dinner. Especially when she got to the "crunchy" bits. Looking forward to her next book and will be interested to see what style she chooses. Recommend to all Mo Hayder fans.Black humour at its delightful best

I haven't read the print version, but the narrator was superb. Really made the book come to lifeWho was your favorite character and why?
Vesta, I wanted her to be my next door neighbour. A real 'salt of the earth' character. I thought all the characters were excellentWhat does Imogen Church bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Her voices were sublime. It made the book so lively. You could picture all the characters from her voices. Best narration I've heardWas there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
