The Secret at Number 7

By: Becca Day

Narrated by: Daphne Kouma, Melanie Crawley

An unputdownable, addictive psychological thriller packed with jaw-dropping twists

The moment I meet Anna at number 7, I immediately like her. But her husband is staring at me with a strange expression on his face. It sends a shiver down my spine. And then a few days later, Anna is gone…

The second I see the moving van, I rush outside. My husband tells me to give our new neighbours space, but I need to know who they are.

When I see Anna, I’m in awe. Despite the chaos of boxes, she is glamorous, with perfect hair and elegant clothes. But her husband, Fraser, makes me nervous. I can’t explain it, but I don’t trust him.

And when my doorbell camera detects movement in the night, I’m instantly awake. Our road is usually deathly quiet. As I watch, I see Fraser lifting a large bag into his car. And now, Anna has disappeared.

Fraser tells everyone she’s away visiting family, but Anna told me she didn’t have any, it’s why she wanted to make friends here. Then I remember the bruises I saw on her arms…

I am convinced Fraser killed his wife.

The police dismiss me, and my husband tells me to leave it, but I can’t. I have to know what happened to her. But when I uncover the secret hidden inside number 7, the truth is more dangerous than I ever imagined. And now I’m not sure I will make it out alive…

A gripping thriller that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Packed with twists, this psychological thriller is perfect for fans of Freida McFadden’s The Housemaid, The Girl on the Train and Colleen Hoover’s Verity.

Didn’t see that coming!

Great story and great performance! It moved quickly and the characters were easy to follow.

Another great book by Becca Day

The storyline was good, with unpredictable twists and turns. I enjoy the storytellers. They read with expression that I thoroughly enjoy. I have now listened to all of the author’s books and I am ready for the next one. While I did enjoy this book, my favorite is The Woman in the Cabin because its storyline is completely different from any I have ever read.

Disturbing

This book took a perverted and quite disturbing turn. Anna was psychotic and predatory. The plot may be triggering.

A gripping thriller with jaw-dropping twists…

The big twist at the end

I loved the way it consistently made you think she was crazy or psychotic but that her husband didn’t believe her was disappointing
