About this listen

A completely addictive and unputdownable psychological thriller with a nail-biting twist

‘Hi,’ she says, ‘I’m your new neighbour.’ Her smile is bright but her shoulders are tense as she stands on the leafy green Edinburgh street. She seems friendly. But soon I’ll discover her dangerous secret…

On the first day I meet my new neighbour, we share a glass of wine and talk into the night. We swap numbers and I vow to get to know her better. But as I get closer to her, I discover something about her past that changes everything. She isn’t who I thought she was.

Then when I step into her home, my jaw drops. Everything in here is identical to my own flat – every cushion, every picture on the wall.

Except for the knife, covered in blood. My heart pounds in my chest. What has she done? What is she capable of?

I should never have come here. I should never have got close to her. I need to run.

But then I hear a creak outside the door. And I realise, it may be too late…

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller from multi-million-copy, bestselling author JD Kirk. For anyone who loves Freida McFadden, John Marrs and T.M. Logan.

Some really good twists in this, it gave me “housemaid” vibes but in Scotland. I enjoyed this and quite quickly finished it. Good narration

Some good twists

Not the typical JD Kirk crime thriller — this one leans more into psychological tension and slow-building unease. The characters are complex, and the atmosphere keeps you guessing. The narration is excellent and brings the subtle dread to life, though the story unfolds at a gentler pace than his usual gritty police dramas. Still, a compelling listen with a clever twist.

Felt like it was going to be predictable, but a few good twists!! I really enjoyed, but do wish he'd written another Logan 😂😂

Highly Recommend

I was hanging on every word. For me, it was a real page turner. I really enjoyed it.
