A Novel

De: Andrea Mara

Narrado por: Jessica Regan

A gripping new thriller from Andrea Mara, the #1 international bestselling author of ALL HER FAULT, now streaming on Peacock

Your neighbors have secrets. How far would they go to keep them?

“A simple, ordinary mistake explodes into a suburban nightmare in this hugely compelling, one-sitting read packed full of thrilling moments and genuinely surprising twists. Andrea Mara is at the very top of her game.” —Catherine Ryan Howard

You press send and your message disappears. Full of secrets about your neighbors, it’s meant for your sister. But it doesn’t reach her – it goes to the entire local community WhatsApp group instead.

As rumor spreads like wildfire through the picture-perfect neighborhood, you convince yourself that people will move on, that this will quickly be forgotten. But then you receive the first death threat.

The next day, a woman has been murdered. And what’s even more chilling is that she had the same address as you – 26 Oakpark – but in a different part of town. Did the killer get the wrong house? It won’t be long before you find out…

Twisty thriller

This was a great read! It was so twisty, I didn’t know who was responsible for what until the very end! It kept me interested and wanting to know what was going to happen next, I finished in less than 24 hours! Great ending! Loved it!

Fantastic! A Perfect Listen to Break a Slump…

This is my first Andrea Mara book, It Should’ve Been You, and I was truly surprised at how good it was. I bought it on a whim and I don’t regret it at all. There were a few things I guessed correctly, but others I didn’t, and those are honestly some of my favorite kinds of books. I like being able to figure out what’s going on while still being surprised along the way.

I thought the performance was very well done. Thrillers can sometimes take themselves too seriously, and I don’t think this book did that. The modern take on the dangers of social media really puts a lot into perspective. No, this isn’t life changing literature, but it does make you think about how what you do and say online can have bigger impacts than you realize.

If you want a quick read or listen that’s going to keep you entertained, this is the book for you!

I’d need a spreadsheet to keep track of characters

If the characters were developed, they’d stand out to me. But none were. Just straight in with whatever they’re dealing with. There’s unresolved points at the end of the book and I’m still trying to figure out what was the premise? I mean I bought the book because of the prologue - it’s a great opening scene and I LOVED the way the author described the syringe. But it felt like a trailer for a movie that gave you the best bits when the movie itself actually wasn’t that good. If you’re the author reading this though, take this - and all - reviews - with a grain of salt. I’m also someone who wishes she could write a book and hasn’t been able to yet so - you’re miles ahead of me even if this one wasn’t for me.

very twisty

This book is engaging and has so many twists and turns. the narration was excellent, I loved the Irish narrator. My only complaints were that the chapters ended very abruptly and they went by so quick. I also didn't like the unanswered questions in the end, that's always frustrating to me.

another page turner

This story was similar in style to "All Her Fault." There were lots of people doing lots of things and several mysteries to unravel. A fun read.
