About this listen

Sometimes, the most perfect families are hiding the most terrible secrets. How well do you know the people next door…?

Everybody wants to live on Hogarth Street, the pretty, tree-lined avenue with its white houses. The new family, the Wests, are a perfect fit. Katherineand John seem so in love and their gorgeous five-year-old twins race screeching around their beautiful emerald-green lawn.

But soon people start to notice: why don’t they join backyard barbecues? Why do they brush away offers to babysit? Why, when you knock at the door, do they shut you out, rather than inviting you in?

Every family has secrets, and on the hottest day of the year, the truth is about to come out. As a tragedy unfolds behind closed doors, the dawn chorus is split by the wail of sirens. And one by one the families who tried so hard to welcome the Wests begin to realise: Hogarth Street will never be the same again.

A completely gripping, twist-packed psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Sally Hepworth and Lisa Jewell.

This was a brilliant book. Such an amazing story, I felt like I had just watched a superb film in my mind. It was like a jigsaw completed. I felt uplifted that humans can be kind & caring. Read superbly too. Thank you.

Well written, well narrated. A definite listen, keeps you interested and wanting to “just hear one more” chapter. Will look for more of her books and also more from the narrator, who has a very soothing voice.

Great plot.
