The People Next Door

‘Twisty and addictive… Had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish… My heart raced and my jaw hit the floor… I’m still not over it.’ Emma’s Biblio Treasures, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I swore I’d never come back to Clover Lane. But when my aunt left us her home, I couldn’t say no. The last in a neat row of houses with white fences, it was the life I’d always dreamed of for my family. They deserved it… even if I didn’t.

As neighbours drop by to welcome us, I see the sparkle back in my daughter Morgan’s eyes and know we’re safe. I won’t let her near the woods where my best friend went missing, but a coffee date with the people next door has me feeling like we belong. But then the first letter arrives: Dear Neighbour. I know who you are. I know what you did…

Suddenly, I notice curtains twitch and find myself looking over my shoulder as I leave the house. When more letters arrive and rumours poison the street, I start double-locking the doors. How much do I really know about the people next door? Are my children safe? Is there anyone I can trust?

Someone thinks they know what happened that summer. I know they’re wrong, but my worst fear is realised when the last letter drops: Morgan is missing…

If you loved reading The Housemaid, The Perfect Marriage and The Girl on the Train, you will devour this absolutely jaw-dropping psychological thriller from Carla Kovach.
