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.

Very twisty!

There’s so much going on, it keeps you guessing until the very end. It’s a great story!

I didn’t have any idea how this story would end.

I loved the story! I read it in 2 days because I couldn’t put it down. I am looking forward to the authors new book in 2026.

Intriguing story that made never want to stop listening.

Excellent story line that kept my interest. Wonderful character development and the twists and turns kept me guessing the entire time. And LOVED the readers! Always so satisfying to listen to Julia Whelan and the entire narrative cast was wonderful. I really appreciate when an author uses many cast members to play parts as opposed to using only one or two to cover everyone. You should all be proud of such a wonderful audio experience…one of the best audiobook experiences for me and I have listened to over 700!

Now this is a thriller. 🔥

Instantly after pressing play I thought what a sexy little thriller. What a fun romp this is gonna be.
Spoiler: I was right.

This is a top-tier audiobook. Cinematic. Full-cast. 30+ narrators. Music and sound effects so real I legit thought I left the water running while wiping my counters. Nope, just Wendy Walker out here messing with my senses.

Honestly? No notes. I wouldn’t change a thing. Wendy Walker nailed it, and the cast and production brought it to life in the coolest way possible.

✌️Vibes:
🔥Dark/Sultry
📅 Dual timelines
👥Multiple POVs
🕵️‍♀️ 30+ narrators
💦 Sound effects so immersive it’ll make you question your plumbing

It’s a yes for me! 🖤
