A BRAND-NEW totally addictive psychological thriller with a twist you won’t see coming.

Just when I thought I’d got my life back together, a handsome stranger moves in across the street. He says he lost his wife six months ago. He says he’s here for a fresh start. But I think he might be a killer.

Three months ago, a serial killer tore through our perfect little community. But he’s dead now, and I’m doing my best to pretend everything’s normal — pot roasts, Pilates, and that my stepson TJ didn’t upend our lives the minute he arrived.

That was before the new neighbour moved in.

Damian Mankiewicz is a good-looking, friendly, charming widower. But there’s something off about him. The box in his hallway marked Do Not Open. The house he bought — the one where a girl was found murdered. And the way he always seems to be watching.

When a local teenager goes missing, the whispers start all over again. About TJ. About me. About what really happened here.

I’ve already been through hell once. I’m not doing it again. If the widower is hiding something, I’ll find out — before someone else disappears for good.

A jaw-dropping thriller about secrets, suspicion, and the dark side of suburbia. Welcome to The Estates.

Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst, Valerie Keogh and T.M. Logan.

book two of an ok story. not as advertised, a gripping psychological thriller. Just full of descriptions of marble! floor counter tops etc. we could have done without it. the storm was weak and the characters more like desperate housewives than murderers or psychos. like book one the ending was rushed and inconclusive which leads me to believe there will be a book three which I won't be listening to. this book is ok if you just want somthing to listen to that doesn't need much thought.

definatly Not a phycological thriller.

I was enjoying this story and looking forward to the twist but all was truly revealed in the epilogue which was somewhat a let down. I won’t be recommending to friends.

I wasn't aware this was a second book. And having now read other reviews I think that you absolutely need to have read the first one to enjoy this at all. The characters are not at all relatable (to me) nor well described and the story has not gone anywhere. I have 2 hours left but don't want to waste anymore of my life on it 🙈

The performance was fine but I've rated it less than I should have because otherwise I think it totally skews the rating of the actual book.

Not at all gripped.

Relied very heavily on the previous book (stepson) to make sense. I enjoyed the twists and links back to first book murders but it was very unrealistic and a bit silly at the end. Story dragged on and characters felt shallow . I'd not spend a credit on it.

Meh! It was ok

Having read the stepson I was looking forward to this book, its sequel. However I gave up on it, so much regurgitation from the earlier book it became annoying. Glad I hadn’t paid for it!

Not for me
