About this listen

You thought you were safe. Until he moved in next door....

I haven’t lived here long. The house is small and a little run-down, but each piece of faded floral wallpaper I peel away feels like unwrapping the second chance I never thought I’d get. I’m finally free to wear what I want, and I don’t flinch when I accidently burn dinner. My new home is warm, and the kids are safe inside. Anywhere would feel idyllic after the nightmare marriage I’ve just escaped.

But then I see my ex-husband Craig stroll past my window and let himself into the house next door. Fear chokes me. How did he find me? Does he want me back or to destroy me for good?

As the removals van pulls away, Craig tells me it’s just a coincidence, that we can all get along and be good neighbors. But at night I lie awake listening to the sound of laughter and lovemaking through the thin wall that separates us, wondering if his new girlfriend is safe. And in the morning, I rifle through his trash, trying to guess his next move. I know how crazy I look, but I’d do anything to protect my children.

Weeks later, when the night air fills with smoke and this quiet street dances with blue and red flashing police lights, all the secrets behind our two closed doors will be revealed. But after everything that’s happened, will anyone believe I’m innocent?

Fans of The Wife Between Us, The Family Upstairs, and The Girl on the Train will be totally hooked!

Great book. Questionable narration.

This book is definitely a better read than a listen. I don’t feel the narrator does it justice. The main character Lea is frustrated and whiny for a good amount of the story and rightfully so. However, whenever Lea is frustrated or crying the narrator switches up her voice to make Lea sound like she turned into a 100 year old grandma! I swear I pictured Rose at the end of the movie, Titanic whenever the narrator did this. It was really weird. But the story was good! Still worth a listen. Just ignore Lea sounding like she’s going from late 30’s to 100 years old whenever she gets upset.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
