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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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.

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

So many twists

So many twists! so many times I audibly said, “no way”! The ending was a little predictable, but still so good!! Highly recommend

Ugh. Men.

The story was interesting, the characters relatable in turns. May have enjoyed this story more, were it not for the narrator for Sloane. I found the timbre of her voice to be exceedingly pleasant, but the way she dragged out vowels and nose-breathed through the end of some of her words was truly distracting. I hate to be negative about someone’s voice, but this doesn’t feel like an attack on something she can change, but a stylistic choice she made that I found unfortunate at best and off-putting at worst.
