DESCRIPTION:
Young married couple Heidi and Freddie just moved to Huntington Grove. All the neighbours see they are friendly and polite but why is one door in their house always locked?
Across the street, Willow tries not to argue with her teenage daughter – even as her marriage is falling apart. And where does her husband really go each night, leaving the bed beside her cold?
Feeling lonely, she always waves hello to single dad Dylan next door. His wife died in a tragic murder. The culprit was never found. It’s no surprise there are rumours he was involved…
On a beautiful sunny day, it’s time for the whole street to gather for a summer party. Everyone plasters on a fake smile. But soon the picnic tables will be overturned, sirens will blare – and one of the residents will be marched away in police handcuffs.
Everyone at the party will be questioned. But everyone will lie… And with every household hiding something, who has a secret big enough to kill for?
An absolutely addictive psychological thriller that proves you can never really know what goes on behind closed doors. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Shari Lapena and The Perfect Marriage.
MY THOUGHTS:
Heidi and Freddie are settling into their new house, which could be their forever home. However, one thing unsettles Heidi—Freddie keeps one door locked at all times, even though they’re the only ones in the house.
Meanwhile, Heidi is eager to get to know her new neighbors, including Willow and her teenage daughter. When Willow shares a surprising secret about the neighborhood, it piques Heidi’s curiosity. Another neighbor, Dylan, carries a heavy burden—he’s a father to seven-year-old daughter Orla, and speculation abounds about what happened to his wife, Kira.
Anxious at home and after meeting these new neighbors, Heidi begins to question whether they made a wise decision moving to Huntington Grove. It seems like everyone in town is hiding something, even to the point of an arrest that intensifies the mystery. Determined to uncover Freddie’s secrets, Heidi won’t rest until she gets answers.
This captivating domestic suspense story by Kerry Wilkinson is brought to life by three exceptional narrators. From the very first page, my attention was captivated, and I highly recommend this book.
Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Kerry Wilkinson is from the English county of Somerset but has spent far too long living in the north. It’s there that he’s picked up possibly made-up regional words like ‘barm’ and ‘ginnel’. He pretends to know what they mean.
He’s also been busy since turning thirty: his Jessica Daniel crime series has sold more than a million copies in the UK; he has written a fantasy-adventure trilogy for young adults; a second crime series featuring private investigator Andrew Hunter and the standalone thriller, Down Among The Dead Men.
