Description

Get ready for your new obsession - the unputdownable No. 1 bestselling thriller.

Your neighbours have secrets. How far would they go to keep them?

*AN INSTANT NO.1 BESTSELLER*


'Andrea Mara's best book yet. Absolutely outstanding!' Claire Douglas, bestselling author of The Wrong Sister
'Tense, thrilling and relatable.' Sun

Have you ever sent a message to the wrong person?

Susan sends her sister a gossipy message about their neighbour. But she accidentally posts it on the neighbourhood WhatsApp group instead.

It’s an innocent mistake that could happen to anyone, but rumours quickly spread and the backlash spirals. Soon that one wrong message leads to murder.

A local woman is found dead, but when Susan listens to the news report, she realises that the victim had the same address as her but in a different part of town. The killer may have got the wrong victim - they may be coming for her next.

Wow! This book is superb!!

Susan is a new mum, on maternity leave from her teaching job, she is never far from social
media to brighten up the monotony of her days! Susan mistakenly posts a rather scathing message regarding a neighbouring family to the neighbourhood group instead of the intended recipients (a private chat with her sisters!). Ouch!! Unfortunately embarrassment and her utter mortification aren’t the only consequences of this error- as a chain of events is set in motion that leads to a worryingly high body count!!

This book is so gripping and very well written - I honestly couldn’t put it down and inhaled it in record time!!

This one comes very highly recommended from me!

My thanks to NetGalley

Jeez, this book almost gave me heart failure!! I was sucked in right from 'I have to kill my sister', the first line of the prologue.

Short chapters and a mix of point of views made for a propulsive read. I made the mistake of starting it at bedtime on a weeknight and let's just say I wasn't the most productive at work the next day!

I love an unsettling read and this book has that in spades...... the everyday domestic life backdrop creates a 'could be me' feel, adding to the tension!!!

This one's not for the faint hearted and I loved it!! The twists and turns in this story are unreal, my advice to you is buckle up and enjoy the ride!!!!
