This was truly an amazing book. The storyline flowed, the characters were engaging and I could barely tear myself away from this book. Highly recommended!

Fabulous!! Five stars! I read this in 2 evenings as I just couldn’t put it down- I even sneaked an extra break at work to sit and finish it!! The characters really come to life and the twists are brilliant. Thoroughly recommend. Thanks to Netgalley and the author for the advance reading

"...what lies behind the pretty curtains and the well-groomed lawns of Mulberry Avenue?"

A nice neighborhood with nice people. Some more content than others. A twisty, totally readable psychological thriller told in three perspectives: Lucy the contented teacher, Amber the weather girl who's new to Mulberry Avenue and the stalker. There are thrills and chills and a whole lot of guessing with this one. Very well written and compulsively readable!

Well done again Sue Watson!

I was really excited to have received this ARC on Netgalley as I have previously read Sue Watson’s other psychological thriller and absolutely loved it. So glad she has decided to continue writing more of this genre.
Well I was right to be excited as this book was fantastic! Just as good, if not better than her first one. A really well written tale that had me holding my breath and wanting to scream at the characters. Full of twists and turns and dark secrets. A thoroughly enjoyable psychological thriller. Highly recommended xx

I enjoyed this book although I felt the pace could have been quicker. Based around the people that live in the same house divided into flats. Quirky characters that the author portrays very well. All is not what it seems when sinister postcards arrive for the occupant.

Lucy appears to have it all, a teaching career, a lovely home and a husband. She also has a friendly new neighbor, Amber. Lucy feels like they’ve been friends for years. So when Amber confides she’s pregnant and getting terrible threats, it only makes sense to invite Amber to stay with her. But Amber isn’t Lucy’s friend, as time will reveal.

All Her Secrets by Sue Watson is a psychological thriller that simmers with palpable tension. This is a well-paced, character-driven narrative that had me tearing through the pages to discover the identity of the unknown stalker, whose ominous voice is nothing less than chilling.

When quasi-celebrity weather girl Amber arrives on Mulberry Avenue, Lucy knows that her own life will never be the same. Lucy quickly aligns herself with the glamourous newcomer, forsaking other friendships, and the two women become inseparable. Amber is quick to take full advantage of Lucy's blind adoration, and does all the taking in the relationship, while Lucy is unwavering as the giver. Amber is convinced that she is being stalked, and Lucy commits herself to discovering the person who is leaving her friend so unsettled.

Told primarily from the points of view of both Lucy and Amber, with intermittent musings in the stalker's own voice, this is a tale that will creep under the skin. How well do we really know those whose lives are closely entwined with our own? The ending is wholly satisfactory, and I appreciated the jaw-dropping twist that I did not anticipate. I will read more from this author.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC.

An awesome premise! Lucy and Matt are childless - due to infertility issues. Then who moves into the neighborhood but the fading star (yet still glamourous) Amber who is 43. She works on local TV now - but she used to be national. Lucy and Amber become friends - but Lucy seems to have to do everything on Amber's terms. Lucy is lonely because her husband often works late with his drama class - so she gloms on to Amber (and her fame).

Amber becomes pregnant - probably with the very-married Ben who Amber has obsessed over for 20 years. But, there have been others. You see, Amber also has a stalker. For some (to me STRANGE) reason, she moves in with Matt and Lucy for safety concerns. Lucy is overly dramatic about this stalker. Amber is reluctant to have the police involved. At first, Matt really is unhappy with the situation but eventually he warms to Amber and her baby, Mia. Most readers can guess the rest - even if Lucy doesn't. Amber continues to stay at their house. Totally strange. But Amber now has live-in baby sitters and Lucy has a baby to love.

Things go from bad to worse - and the stalker issue is still not for sure fully resolved, yet. The pasts come back to haunt both Amber and Lucy. Their secrets become a manipulative way to get even...

Lucy comes across as quite ignorant of her situation. She is 43 and a school teacher. Please!!! She should know better! Amber, well, we know she is a user from the start. This is an OK read, yet, a bit predictable.

Many thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for a good read.

when celebrity weather forecaster Amber moves into the biggest and fanciest house in the neighborhood, dowdy school teacher Lucy latches onto her trying to be her best friend. When Amber gets some "stalker" type texts, she ends up moving in with Lucy and her husband Matt. I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book or not because both Lucy and Amber were both very annoying characters, but things quickly changed. As secrets unfolded, and twists and turns occurred, this was a really good read and I enjoyed it. Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC of this very interesting page turner in exchange for an honest review.

A dark and twisty book that’ll have you shouting at the characters in frustration.

Lucy lives happily with her husband Matt is a quiet estate when TV weather girl, Amber Young moves in across the street. They develop a close friendship which includes wine, onesies and rom coms! But soon Amber finds herself a victim of a terrifying stalker. Lucy invites her into her house. But what exactly has she signed herself up for?

I devoured this book, eager to see how it would resolve. At first I wasn’t keen on Lucy as a character but she did grow on me eventually. I got angry with her for the way she behaved with everyone, specifically her friend Kirsty, who I felt to be the most under-appreciated and frankly normal characters in the whole book - the only one I didn’t actually get mad at!

It’s a 4.5 star read based on my initial dislike of the characters, but I liked the way the story resolved at the end, and the twist was great. Perfect for those who love The Girl on the Train and An Anonymous Girl.

I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley. This has not influenced my review and all opinions expressed are my own.

Unfortunately I found this book to be tiring. Lucy was not only very needy but also very annoying and dragged every little incident out for several pages. The plot was something that has been done several times before. I honestly could not get through this book.

Thank you to netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
