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.

What a journey!

I randomly chose this book - just looking through the Audible Originals. I had no idea what I was in for - this tale is masterfully spun - doling out the details at just the right pace to keep you hungry for the next chapter. I listened to all of it in one day. Once I started, I had to see where it went. I won't give away any spoilers, but I'll just say that it's one I want to listen to again - knowing from the beginning what is revealed by the end. Needless to say, I highly recommend this listen. Give your ears an adventure. It is also beautifully produced - great readers, bits of ambient noises at various moments, and the pauses between chapters - all heighten the experience just enough without being over the top. 12 out of 10 - well done.

Different perspectives of the women

Reminded me of Walker’s first novel but with more mystery and suspense. Really like the different voices.

Loved it!

Well done! The character development and naration are great, her voice is perfect. I' want to listen to more.

so good

I couldn't stop listening. I was completely captivated and I didn't see that ending coming.

Twist and Turns

I agree with the 5-star reviews. I would like to add that the performance style of this particular audiobook is excellent, IMHO. I mostly listen to Audible when I am going to sleep or if I wake up and can’t fall back asleep. I have tried other performance books, but the sound effects and music are too disruptive for me. Even listening to them in the daytime feels grating instead of enhancing the experience. This is a pitch-perfect performance, all around.

wow! couldn't put it down

kept me thinking. riveting well developed characters, many twists and turns. intricate and elaborate

Wow

Great book, loved the story line and the characters were amazing. The narrators did an excellent impression of their characters

Great book!

Wow was this a good book, finished it in two days. Definitely recommend it will keep you in suspense!

The characters that mirrored exactly what we all felt at that age. You nailed it.

Nothing, great story. It was surprising at the end and that’s perfect in every story.

Entertaining!

Audible books can be made or broken by the narrator. The performance was so good and I appreciated that one narrator wasn’t trying to do everyone’s voices. Great storyline and hard to take a break from.
