“Tense, twisty, fraught with emotion and packed with secrets, The Couple at Number 9 is Claire’s best thriller yet.”—Gilly MacMillan, bestselling author of What She Knew

The internationally bestselling author of Do Not Disturb and Just Like the Other Girls delivers a heart-pounding psychological thriller about a couple who inherit what seems to be their dream home, until they make a horrifying discovery—and the danger begins.

The Victims . . .

The Investigation . . .

Forensics indicate the bodies have been buried at least thirty years. Saffy has nothing to worry about—until the police launch a murder inquiry and ask to speak to the cottage’s former owner. Her grandmother, Rose.

The Witness . . .

Rose is in a nursing home and Alzheimer’s means her memory is increasingly confused. She can’t help the police, but its’ clear she remembers something.

The Killer . . .

As Rose’s fragmented memories resurface, and the police dig ever deeper, Saffy fears she and the cottage are being watched.

The Truth . . .

What happened thirty years ago? Why did no one miss the victims? What part did her grandmother play? And is Saffy now in danger?

Narrators’ voices

I really wish the main female narrator would not imitate a male’s voice. It’s poorly dine and very annoying.

Great fluffy book

Definitely kept my attention the whole time although I guessed the major plot twist half way. But I was specifically looking for a fluffy book that would offer a cozy escape from day to day and this was perfect. Love the narrators and the writing is not bad.

The twists

Really enjoyed all the twists and turns in this books! It was a good read!

Loved!

Great story. You’ll be guessing till the end. I Definitely couldn’t stop listening and highly recommend!

Captivating!

Loves this! It was the right amount of suspense and reveal at the right times. I could stop listening when there was -2 hours left!

And the performance was great. I’m very picky about readers’ voices, but these two were pleasing to the ear.

I definitely be looking for more Claire Douglas.
