Summary
The No. 1 Sunday Times best-seller and WHSmith Book of the Year 2016
People are capable of almost anything.
Fast-paced and addictive, The Couple Next Door announces a major new talent in thriller writing.
You never know what's happening on the other side of the wall.
Your neighbour told you that she didn't want your six-month-old daughter at the dinner party. Nothing personal, she just couldn't stand her crying.
Your husband said it would be fine. After all, you live only next door. You'll have the baby monitor, and you'll take it in turns to go back every half hour.
Your daughter was sleeping when you checked on her last. But now, as you race up the stairs in your deathly quiet house, your worst fears are realised. She's gone.
You've never had to call the police before. But now they're in your home, and who knows what they'll find there.
What would you be capable of when pushed past your limit?

"How well do we ever know those around us? The Couple Next Door will keep you glued to the pages in search of the answer. Even then, you'll never guess the truth...until it's too late." (Lisa Gardner)

So many twists I'm dizzy!
Fantastic story. Lots of twists that kept me guessing. Had me gasping towards the end when the plot unfolds.Defiantly room for a sequel, the ending left me wanting more!

Long winded
I really liked the story but I thought it got boring and repetitive in parts lost the momentum.

Just a few negative ie the narrative I found very distracting a time through out the listen also during the story telling at time you loses interest and the ending is a bit disappointed. overall it's OK.

The couple next door :
The story is very character driven and has a good pace. I found the twists and turns kept my interest, however I did work out the story about 4 chapters before the end. I enjoyed the story but did find the unnecessary increase in the F word unpleasant. As with films I wish we could have some warning. The narrator was ok but constantly sounded condescending. Good story but not brilliant.
