'The queen of the one-sit read' Linwood Barclay
'Shari Lapena is one of the best thriller writers in the business' Steve Cavanagh
'A masterful whodunnit, perfectly paced and expertly plotted, that had me guessing all the way through' C L Taylor
******
The gripping new thriller from the No. 1 bestselling author of The Couple Next Door.
It can be hard keeping secrets in a tight-knit neighbourhood.
In a tranquil, leafy suburb of ordinary streets - one where everyone is polite and friendly - an anonymous note has been left at some of the houses.
'I'm so sorry. My son has been getting into people's houses. He's broken into yours.'
Who is this boy, and what might he have uncovered? As whispers start to circulate, suspicion mounts.
And when a missing local woman is found murdered, the tension reaches breaking point. Who killed her? Who knows more than they're telling? And how far will all these very nice people go to protect their secrets?
Maybe you don't know your neighbour as well as you thought you did . . .

This book actually bored me so much I managed to read about 120 pages in but just couldn't carry on reading... There was no Ooomph!... No exciting shocks asuch just rambled on and on and on... Was more of a murder mystery crime who done it sort of read so if you like more that kind of story it maybe for you... This is just my honest review I'm sure many people have enjoyed this book but sadly not for me... I just couldn't face struggling through another 120 odd pages so googled the end and deleted from library but thought would leave a review anyway and sadly it's just a 1 star from me 🌟🤔😓
