About this listen

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.

I agree with some other reviews, it relies too much on the other story making it impossible to listen without a knowledge of the first book. and the story is a bit "lazy", I would consider it more of an add on to the first book, than an actual story by itself.

relying a lot on THE STEPSON

This heavily relies on the stepson and you cant really listen without that, there was a lot of going over issues from the previous book but then again it brought back my memory. These books are just easy listening and so I didn't remember a lot until my memory was triggered.
The main issue I had was in this day in age people drinking and then driving - that really took me out as I got so annoyed.
To be honest I didn't guess the outcome - well done.

Easy listen but need to read book 1

Fabulous listen, characters came to life by the brilliant narrating.
Plots, twists, mind bending storyline were great.
Kept me thinking, wondering, guessing.
Loved this listen
Thankyou

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.
