About this listen

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. Katherineand 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.

I have never had to rewind so many times because I would zone out so much . Tried to finish, I probably will and I hope I change my mind.

Seriously hoping this gets better as a story line.. I’m confused

Easy to listen to, and keep track of characters. The woman reading the story did an excellent job with the character voices. There is a little twist that I did not see coming. It’s nice to be surprised because so many books are so predictable. Great use of heat in the setting (stifling hot weather adds to the tension). Love the characters Gladys and Logan!

Captivating listen!
