You Must Be New Here

A Novel

De: Katie Sise

Narrado por: Erin Mallon, Vanessa Johansson, Caitlin Kelly, Dominique Franceschi

A friendship is put to the test when a young woman disappears from a quiet community in a dark and twisty novel of suspense by the bestselling author of Open House and The Vacation Rental.

Sloane Thompson has a daughter named Daisy, attends school activities with other parents, and even has an amicable relationship with her ex-husband. But after ten years in bucolic Sycamore Glen, Sloane has yet to find someone to call a true friend. Until Harper and Ben Wilson move in next door.

Harper is open, charismatic, and restless. She and Sloane quickly become confidantes and fall into a deep and intoxicating friendship. Then one afternoon, Daisy’s dependable babysitter, Margaret, fails to show. When texts from Margaret’s mother and boyfriend go unanswered, the inexplicable disappearance becomes a cause for alarm.

As anxious hours turn into days, suspicion grows. And tension tightens. As if something is about to snap. When it does, long-held secrets are revealed, and not everyone in Sycamore Glen is who they seem to be.

“A pulse-pounding psychological thriller that will leave you breathless. In a claustrophobic suburban landscape that feels like a pressure cooker of secrets, Katie Sise masterfully unravels the dark undercurrents of human nature. You Must Be New Here is both deeply unsettling and impossible to put down.”—Kaira Rouda, USA Today, Amazon Charts, and international bestselling author of Jill Is Not Happy

Great read

Fabulous narration and a gripping story. There were so many different stories woven together. Can highly recommend.

Really well done

Great suspense built up over time. You surmise (along with the character) who did it from the start. Yet, there is the tiniest morsel of doubt until the very last pages. Manu interwoven stories that play out over the life of the book.

Just ok

It was an ok story, lots of characters bouncing around. For me it was very easy to guess the reveal. The voice of Sadie’s character ruined the whole story for me though. I don’t know if the character was intentionally supposed to be like that or if it was just the narrator. But every word at the end of a sentence was drug out, and she talk like she was constantly being suspenseful. It was so distracting that I almost didn’t finish it.

Fun way the story was told

This totally held my attention. The characters were interesting and the author made me care about them. Lots of red herrings. Totally enjoyed.

Home run

Could not put this one down!! Though the twists were not exactly shocking, there were several very good red herrings that made the whole thing so enjoyable
