The Room Next Door

De: Wendy Walker

Narrado por: Julia Whelan, Elizabeth Evans, Bebe Wood, full cast

From the bestselling author of Mad Love and American Girl comes a propulsive new thriller with a spectacular twist and an acclaimed cast.

They were best friends forever. Until the night one of them disappeared.

In 2010, Brooke Lowry, Carrie Hollis, and Eve Shay were inseparable. But on the Fourth of July, Eve vanished—her case never solved. Brooke moved away, but Carrie couldn’t let go, her obsession driving her to become the Chief of Police.

Now, fifteen years later, just as Carrie is about to close Eve’s case for good, an anonymous call provides a chilling new lead. And–within days–a man’s body is hauled in by a fishing boat. His murder is linked to a hotel a few miles away–where the guest in the room next door was none other than Brooke Lowry.

Brooke was there that night—with her lover. They heard something through the wall. Something violent. But they couldn’t say a word without revealing their affair.

As Carrie digs deeper into both cases, Brooke scrambles to cover her tracks, and Eve’s own voice begins to rise from the past. Together, their stories unravel a web of lies, betrayals, and long-buried secrets that lead to the shocking truth of what happened to Eve Shay.

This story contains mature themes. Listener discretion is advised.

Wendy Walker does it again!

Captivating from the start- couldn’t stop listening! The performances were spot on and I was fully engrossed!

Pleasantly Surprised

I saw this book on my audible home page and thought I would check out the summary. It sounded interesting so I downloaded it and finished it in a day. I truly loved this book. It kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat.

Well woven for twists and turns to keep you guessing.

Best book I’ve read in quite a while. Reminded me a lot of my awe for “Gone Girl”. Great story and perfection in timing with the release of details as the story unfolds.

Keeps you guessing...

The story holds your attention to the end. You get enough of the back story to feel confident you know the plot only to make you question everything you knew had to be true with an unexpected twist.

Absolutely Gripping – Wendy Walker at Her Best!

The Room Next Door by Wendy Walker is everything I love in a psychological thriller — smart, emotional, and impossible to step away from. From the first chapter, I was completely pulled in and stayed hooked until the very end.

The story centers on Carrie Hollis, now Chief of Police, still haunted by the disappearance of her best friend Eve Shay years earlier. When new evidence surfaces, Carrie is forced to confront the past and the people she thought she knew — including Brooke Lowry, the third friend whose silence that night may have hidden more than anyone realized.

The character depth in this book is phenomenal. Carrie’s drive and vulnerability make her easy to root for, while Brooke’s guilt and secrets keep the tension crackling. Even the supporting characters add layers of pressure and realism that make the story feel alive.

The narration is top-tier — emotional, suspenseful, and perfectly paced. Every voice felt distinct, and the performance elevated the story to a cinematic level.

This isn’t just a mystery; it’s a powerful look at friendship, guilt, and the lengths we go to for the truth. I found myself replaying parts just to relive the emotion and the twists.

If you love thrillers that grab your heart as much as your mind, The Room Next Door is a must-listen. Wendy Walker delivers another masterpiece. Highly, highly recommend!
