Özet

Meet the neighbours from hell, in the gripping thriller that reviewers and readers describe as "fast-paced", "chilling", and "impossible to put down".

When Jamie and Kirsty move into their first home together, they are full of optimism. The future, in which they plan to get married and start a family, is bright. The other residents of their building seem friendly too, including the Newtons, a married couple who welcome them to the building with open arms.

But then strange things start to happen. Dead rats are left on their doorstep. They hear disturbing noises, and much worse, in the night. After Jamie's best friend is injured in a horrific accident, Jamie and Kirsty find themselves targeted by a campaign of terror.

As they are driven to the edge of despair, Jamie vows to fight back—but he has no idea what he is really up against....

The Magpies is a gripping psychological thriller in which the monsters are not vampires or demons but the people who live next door. It is a nightmare that could happen to anyone.

A male author writing about the mind set of female characters didn't. really work

Any additional comments?

I discovered the author, Mark Edwards, via his 2015 book 'Follow You Home' which was offered as a 'Deal Of The Day' on Audible a fortnight or so ago. This book, 'The Magpies' was his debut novel and told the story of a young couple, Jamie and Kirsty, who find their dream flat in North London, but soon begin to find their lives compromised by their psychopathic neighbours.

I liked it, I really did. although the plot was somewhat ludicrous at times, it maintained a slick pace and left me wanting more. As an aside, I did notice that quite a few of the characters seemed to be named after the McCartney family - was this deliberate?

The narrator was great; really versatile. On the strength of the two books I've listened to by the author, I've bought the other two too.

Forgot my golden rule. Always listen to the sample first. Might have been good but I couldn't stomach listening past chapter four.

Listen to the sample first!

A slow burner but full of tension and guesswork. Will look out for more of Mark Edwards books!!

Brilliant story
