Publisher's Summary

One sunny August afternoon, the residents of Cedar Close throw their annual summer barbecue. Children play in the cherry-tree lined street, tables are laden with food and the wine is flowing. For Laurie Mills, it’s her first time meeting the neighbours. And it’s the first time she discovers her husband, Robert, is having an affair.

Cedar Close has always been a nice place to live - a quiet suburban street where everyone looks out for one another and bad things don’t happen.

Until late one evening, when Robert Mills is found dead in his bedroom.

Downstairs, in their beautiful kitchen, his wife, Laurie, sits alone in the dark with her head in her hands.

She can’t remember the last few hours, but she knows she didn’t kill Robert.

The trouble is, no-one believes her....

An utterly gripping thriller about the dark secrets that lie behind closed doors. Perfect for fans of JP Delaney’s The Girl Before and Gone Girl, The Couple on Cedar Close will keep you listening late into the night.

EXCELLENT OVERALL

I really enjoyed the storyline and the character development. I found the story line which involves child abuse of several forms including incest, partner abuse, development of sociopathic (not psychopathic) and narcissistic personalities, fascinating. Narration was also great and I would recommend this book!

Not my fave genre

The most memorable character was the perp. I liked the main detective. The victim was a bit long on the cloying factor. Really not my kind of book but I did listen to the end. The narrator gets an A++!

Enjoyed this series!

This story felt slower than some of the other books in the series. Nothing mind blowing but was an ok of a book! It was free so figured why not!

Always a Curve

This author never disappoints! There is always a curve ball and conflicting feelings of the norm.
