Tim B, Reviewer
Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of this book. I am old enough to remember when Tony Parsons was a "hip young gunslinger" writing for the NME. More recently he is the author of the Max Wolfe series of crime novels set in London. The People Next Door is a standalone psychological thriller - a couple, Lana and Roman move to a seemingly idyllic house in the country following a traumatic event which is only hinted at until late in the book. The new hours is set in a close and the affluent friendly neighbours aren't what they seem. The couple find themselves drawn into the past history of the house and Lana becomes increasingly paranoid as time goes on. No spoilers here but the denouement involves a couple of characters who have been seemingly peripheral to the action throughout. A good read - finished it in a couple of days - recommended.

Exciting and disturbing psychological thriller;
Lana and Roman Wade's move to the country turns into a nightmare. The story is told alternately from the perspective of these two people and covers a few months after the move. The situation and the relationship with the neighbors gradually deteriorates and the insecurity and anxiety is well described. I could feel how Lana in particular felt increasingly uncomfortable. There is nothing wrong with the language, the book reads well and fluently. The story is exciting, I wasn't bored for a minute and always wanted to know how it will continue. I found it satisfying that everything is resolved in the end, even if I found some aspects a bit unbelievable. Nevertheless, the current zeitgeist is reflected in the resolution, nothing is impossible!
