About:
A gripping psychological thriller from the bestselling author of The Passenger and Til Death Do Us Part It seemed like the perfect house on the perfect street. Until they met the neighbours . . . Happily married couple Katie and Sean have plenty to look forward to as they move into their new home and plan for the future. But then they meet two of their new neighbours and everything on their quiet street suddenly doesn’t seem as desirable as it did before. Having been warned about the other neighbours, and their adulterous and criminal ways, Katie and Sean realise that they are going to have to be on their guard if they want to make their time here a happy one. But the other neighbours seem so nice and that’s why they choose to ignore the warning and get friendly with the rest of the people on the street. And that is why their marriage will never be the same again . . . Four houses. Six neighbours. And one shocking twist.
My Review:
Gripping this is not. I have read Daniel Hursts books before but this one I had to skim, I was probably only reading one line per page as it was getting way to tedious. It went onto too much, used far too many words and over use of descriptions. The ending was predictable as was the epilogue, I’d worked out the culprits early on.
I found myself wanting to give up at halfway but decided to keep going for what it was worth even though I already knew the outcome.
In my opinion this novel doesn’t fit into the ‘psychological’ mystery genre.
I cannot recommend this book sadly.
