About the book

‘OMG!!! SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!… The most heart-racing book I’ve read in a long time, if not ever!!! It had me hook, line and sinker from the first page and I could not put it down!!!… Clear your day because it is truly unputdownable… What an absolute twist!!!… If you read one book in your life, make sure it is this!!!!’ Bookworm86, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sometimes, the most perfect families are hiding the most terrible secrets. How well do you know the people next door…? Everybody wants to live on Hogarth Street, the pretty, tree-lined avenue with its white houses. The new family, The Wests, are a perfect fit. Katherine and John seem so in love and their gorgeous five-year-old twins race screeching around their beautiful emerald-green lawn. But soon people start to notice: why don’t they join backyard barbecues? Why do they brush away offers to babysit? Why, when you knock at the door, do they shut you out, rather than inviting you in? Every family has secrets, and on the hottest day of the year, the truth is about to come out. As a tragedy unfolds behind closed doors, the dawn chorus is split by the wail of sirens. And one by one the families who tried so hard to welcome the Wests begin to realise: Hogarth Street will never be the same again. A completely gripping, twist-packed psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Sally Hepworth and Lisa Jewell. Readers love The Family Across the Street: ‘Wow!!! Wow!!! Wow!!!

    Spannend

    Mir hat das Buch gefallen, coole Geschichte und ein super Twist! Es war leicht zu lesen und gut zu folgen! Leider hat es mir nicht den Nervenkitzel gegeben den ich erwartet hab, deshalb nur 3 Sterne

    Guter Thriller.

    Das klassiche "perfekte" Vorstadtleben. Familie West ist zugezogen mit ihren Zwillingen. Sie scheinen perfekt rein zu passen. Aber irgendwas ist los. Dreht der Vater durch? Ein Paketbote der ein Paket bringen soll, ahnt etwas. Genauso die ältere Nachbarin der Wests. Es baut sich unglaublich Spannung auf finde ich. Ich muss einfach weiter lesen. Ich erwische mich dabei wie ich zwischendurch fast schreien will damit die Personen weiter misstrauisch sind und etwas unternehmen. Es gipfelt in einem spannenden Ende mit klasse Plottwist. Hab ich 0 so mit gerechnet. Der Schreibstil ist angenehm und schön finde ich auch das Gedankengänge des Täters bzw. Vorgeschichte kursiv geschrieben sind. Die Kapitellänge ist gut. Das Buch ingesamt hat nicht so viel Seiten. Moral von der Geschicht: Sei Gladys. Misch dich ein. 4/5☆

    Guter Thriller.
