Psychological thriller told from multiple POV’s which keeps you guessing. Several twists that were unexpected. The narrator was really good.

Anna finds her best friend's father murdered! Who could have done when he is a respected Doctor and well liked in the community! On top of this Anna is getting letters telling her to keep quiet. Anna is confused on what she apparently knows...she just wants to keep her daughter safe. Anna does have some secrets of her own hidden, but surely that's not what they mean. As police are looking for who murdered the doctor there are more and more secrets that get released. Who did and will it be someone you suspected?

I went into this story blind and the start and end of the book had me so consumed, but the middle just did not keep me fully engaged. First chapter we have a dead body. I was instantly thinking OMG we are jumping right in! Then slowly through the story we have some extra stuff thrown at us. Okay, how does this connect to the story line. At the end it all is a big ball of word vomit on what all has happened in the present and past. I do believe a lot of it could have been added throughout the story to keep more of an engagement. The plot twist was great! I did not see that coming and that really wrapped up the story. I did give 3 stars. It has a great start and end. I just needed little more in the middle.

This was an Audio. Narrator has a beautiful accent; at times it was hard to tell if it was Anna or Lily speaking. Overall, beautifully read.

Two best friends who live across the road from each other have secrets which they don’t share. A murder triggers many questions about things that happened in the past and slowly the truth will out! Full of suspense, this thriller kept me guessing. The narration is very good and keeps the pace up. Thank you to Net Galley for an audio arc in exchange for an honest review.

Honestly, this book fell short for me. I really wanted to love this book and just couldn't. It kept me interested and waiting for more - but I never really got more. A few of the twists were pretty predictable for me - the very last twist I didn't see coming and was good. Otherwise, it was just an okay read for me. I would definitely read another book by this author!

I had a hard time getting into this one. I kept confusing the characters for some reason. This one still had good twists and secrets but I just wasn't excited to read this one for some reason.

.Fast-paced with so many twists and surprises throughout. Just when you think you have the whole story, we learn something new and things shift. Great suspense read! Thank you to NetGalley and Bookoture for the advanced reader

This was very twisty and fast moving which I liked. I was often confused between Tim, George, and Mike and I think it was because none of the characters were particularly memorable. I was interested in the story but not invested in the characters or the outcome.

You know I really thought I had this one figured out....but I had to listen to the last 30 minutes three times to make sure I heard it right! OMG what a great finish! If you are on the fence about this one, grab it. you won't be disappointed, you may even want to read it twice!
Growing up together, you think you know your best friend and neighbor. But do you really? Can you really know anyone? Do you know what goes on in the house next door? Or the house across the street?

A fun fast paced thriller ! This book has so many mind blowing moments full of surprises and tension! This is an easy read and one of those can’t stop reading it kind of books. A few jaw dropping moments and overall good fun ! 4 stars ✨

This book starts with two families who are very fortunate to live a comfortable life in an idyllic neighborhood. Anna, her daughter, Cassie, and later, her brother, Tim live across the street from the Taylors. Anna and Tim lived there as children. Lily and George Taylor were friends with Cassie and Tim growing up, until an incident occurred to tear Tim and George apart. When Dr. Taylor, Lily and George's father is murdered, everyone wants to figure out who did it and why. It brings up many events of the past.

I was fortunate enough to get to have an advanced copy of the audiobook. The narrator was wonderful and was able to change her voice to distinguish between each character. I have no complaints with it.

There were so many twists and turns in this book that I could not stop listening. Some of the twists I saw coming, but others not so much. The last gut punch at the very end of the book really got me.

Thank you to NetGalley, Jill Childs, and Bookouture for the ARC!

While this is a well-written book, for a thriller, I just could not get into it. Reading this makes me feel like a little kid again, trying to understand my mother's love for Nora Roberts. You would probably enjoy this if you like the sort of things James Patterson used to write before he just started scamming ghostwriters.

Thanks to netgalley and bookoture for the advanced copy. This book is extremely well written and narrated. Keeps you involved right from the start and doesn’t disappoint. 4/5 stars I will definitely be recommending this book

This was a fast paced whodonit thriller with plenty to keep the reader/listener interested. Characters were well developed but overall not very likeable and difficult to root for. There was some repetitiveness throughout which was frustrating. Twists and turns throughout - some predictable some shocking. I personally didn’t like the final ending. I rated the story 3.5 but increased to 4 due to fantastic narration

Two best friends Anna and Lily have secrets they kept from each other.
And we get drip fed the secrets as we read along.
It's starts off with Dr. Taylor being found murdered, so a who done it, but for me, it read more like a neighbour drama soap.

The story was full of twists and gripping, but I did find the pacing very slow, which was frustrating cause it was such a great story.

The twist at the end of this gripping tale will stay in your head rent-free long after you have finished listening. I found it a nice change to listen to a narrator who did not change their voice for the different characters and still did a fabulous job relating the actions and emotions of each. My takeaway is that no matter what you might think, blood is thicker than water.

It was hard to out this book down. It kept me not wanting to put it down. Little twists and turns you were not expecting. Pretty believable story line also. Kind of

#TheHouseAcrossTheStreet #NetGalley
Don't expect much from this one.
Anna King is a single mom and still lives in the same community as she did when she was a child. She now has her own child ten year old daughter Cassie. Anna and her brother were raised by her best friend Lily’s mother and father after their mother died.
Lily’s family lived across the street from Anna and the girls have been best friends ever since they were young. The night of the party, all the neighbors attend including Dr. Taylor who still lives across the street. He returned home from the party somewhat early. As the party continues Anna notices a light flickering in the upstairs windows in Dr. Taylor house. She wonders if it is a short fuse and decides to do a wellness check as Dr. Taylor lives alone.
I didn't like the starting and ending but the middle was good. MC was not likable.
Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for giving me an advance copy.

Trigger Warning
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3.5 Stars)

Set in England, this domestic thriller centers on the shocking murder of Dr. Taylor, a beloved figure in the neighborhood. From the outset, the narrative plunges you with dark secrets, posing the question of who committed the crime and why. The story unfolds around two families whose lifelong friendship is tested when Anna, a single mother, witnesses the murder of Dr. Taylor, Lily’s father. Anna subsequently refuses to cooperate with the investigation due to menacing threats aimed at her and her 11-year-old daughter, Cassie.

While I initially struggled to engage with the story and its characters, the pace intensified significantly halfway through. The book maintains a brisk tempo with its fast-paced chapters. The narrative structure alternates between Lily's first-person and the third-person perspectives of other characters in the novel, blending character-driven moments with plot-driven suspense. The novel sheds light on the complexities of friendships and sibling relationships, childhood trauma, and other dark themes that can be an unfortunate reality for some people.

This psychological thriller starts when the father of Anna’s best friend Lily is murdered in the house across the street. The following pages work through finding out who murdered Mr. Taylor while keeping everyone safe, including Anna’s child. The chapters varied from a single first person and multiple third person point-of-views which was odd and a bit confusing. The twist made me feel the ick, but definitely added a wow-factor. There was one female narrator, but I would have appreciated multiple narrators including a male, to account for the different characters and POV.

I'm really enjoying twisty crime fiction novels lately and this was a great read - I dipped in and out of the audio book and ebook versions as I couldn't stop reading it for long!

The House Across The Street belongs to a respected retired doctor and his family, their children Lily and George grew up across the road from her best friend Anna and her brother Tim (who are not on speaking terms since their teenage years). Both families have learnt to keep secrets in the years they've been neighbours and when Lily's dad, Dr Taylor, is murdered it starts to unravel all the lies that have been told in the past, with devastating consequences.

I'm not exaggerating when I say there are twists up until the very final page - this is a real page turning rollercoaster and whilst you might guess a couple of the twists, as I did, there are so many you'll almost have whiplash! A great read for the summer holidays if you love a gripping page turner.
