About this listen

A deviously twisty novel of psychological suspense about secrets, neighbors, a need to belong, and murder by the award-winning author of The Maid’s Diary.

Socially awkward Chloe Cooper divides her time between dog walking, bartending, caring for her ailing mother, and at a safe distance, watching people and inventing the stories of their lives. Like Chloe’s new neighbors: glamorous influencer Jemma Spengler and Jemma’s husband, Adam, a renowned surgeon. They’re attractive, wealthy, and in a house of open windows, so exposed.

A move to the Pacific Northwest is supposed to be a fresh start for Jemma and Adam. It’s a renewed commitment to a marriage fractured by secrets. A chance to work through the tragic losses in their past. For Jemma, however, this new beginning also comes with an unnerving sensation that she’s being watched.

Then, on a fog-shrouded beach early in the morning, Chloe witnesses the murder of a swimmer. Her suspicions aroused, she suddenly sees her neighbors in a sinister new light. But as a detective and her partner close in, nothing is quite as it seems. Because the Spenglers are not the only ones with secrets. And Chloe isn’t the only one who’s been watching.

3.5 stars rounded up. Interesting story. The story had some good twists and surprises, but I found the buildup a wee bit drawn out. Great Canadian content. The characters of Gemma and Adam lacked dimension IMO. Worthy daily deal. The performance was excellent.

Great story and narrators, but too hard to follow the timeline as an audiobook.

You are most likely doing other things when listening to an audiobook (jogging, cleaning, driving) which takes your attention too, and so the constant going back in time and forward again was confusing at times.

Excellent story though! Lots of twists and turns.

Oh and if you live in Vancouver like I do, you will LOVE all the BC references!

*First time reading this author, very pleased to have discovered her and will listen to Under Devil’s Bridge next! Just hope it doesn’t jump back and forth in time like this one. 🙏🏻

Great book, but I do not recommend as an audiobook!
