Publisher Description

‘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.

Good read

I enjoyed reading this book!! I could hardly put it down.
It’s definitely a page turner. It’s very well written and everything follows wonderfully.

More filler than story

The main story was shadowed by a lot of filler / unnecessary information.
The prologue follows a character that wasn’t even mentioned again until the very end.
There is unnecessary background on characters life’s that don’t pertain to the story. This story is filled with rage bait. I was more angry reading this than anxious about the plot.
