About this listen

Could you hate your neighbour enough to plot to kill him?

Until Darren Booth moves in at number 1, Lowland Way, the neighbourhood is a suburban paradise. But soon after his arrival, disputes over issues like loud music and parking rights escalate all too quickly to public rows and threats of violence.

Then, early one Saturday, a horrific crime shocks the street. As the police go house to house, the residents close ranks and everyone’s story is the same: Booth did it. But there’s a problem. The police don't agree with them.

Critic reviews

"Masterfully plotted, compulsive page-turner." (Guardian)

"Addictive, twisty and oh so terrifyingly possible." (Clare Mackintosh, author of I See You)

I enjoyed this. The narration is excellent. The characters adequately developed. It’s a situation many of us could imagine ourselves in, albeit we may act differently. I found the ending rather sudden and flat.

Enjoyable!

I really enjoyed the first two thirds of this book, but then it just got a bit silly and convoluted towards the end. Many of the characters are also very similar, and I found it hard keep it clear who was who, which lessened the impact of the story overall,.

An interesting idea, but gets a bit silly

This was a treat to listen to- twists, turns, fantastic narration... the characters are so believable and the whole premise is so realistic it's scary!

Addictive!

Started well and was set up well. But it was too samey. Lots of repeated phrases and storylines (well it felt like it). I didn't like the characters and felt the whole story dragged and was long winded.

I guessed the ending.

I had listened to Our House (which was brilliant) but this was not up to that standard. Really slow and just not gripping.

OK but long winded

The narrator excellent. Entertaining but not gripping, I would look for more with same narrator.

Easy listening and clever plot.
