Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The House Across the Street by Lesley Pearse, read by Rosie Jones.
Twenty-three year old Katy Speed is fascinated by the house across the street. The woman who lives there, Gloria, is the most glamorous neighbour on the avenue, owning a fashionable dress shop in Bexhill-on-Sea. But who is the woman who arrives in the black car most Saturdays while Gloria is at work? Sometimes she brings women to the house, other times they have children.
Hilda, Katy's mother, disapproves of Gloria. She wonders if these mysterious visitors have just been released from prison. Is Gloria secretly bringing criminals, or worse, into the heart of the community?
Then one night, the house burns down. In the wreckage, the bodies of Gloria and her daughter are found. Katy is sure the unexplained visitors must be responsible until her father is arrested and charged with murder. Have the police arrested the correct person? Are the rest of the street safe? Can Katy find the truth before it's too late?
'Heart-warming and evocative, a real delight to read' Sun
'A narrative that gallops along, this is quintessential Pearse that will delight her army of readers' Daily Mail
'Glorious, heartwarming' Woman & Home

Similar to woman in the wood
I loved it as I love all Lesley Pearse books, but much of it was like Woman in the Wood which I listened to just before this. I won’t go into detail to avoid spoilers but its still worth listening to for a quick book. Love the narrator.

Good story
Whilst the story was good. The narrator was not very good with different voices for different characters. This spoilt it somewhat.

What a story !
I chose this book as I’d heard the author on the Graham Norton radio show. I’m so pleased I did. It had me gripped from start to finish and now I’m going to see if there’s anything else by her. Please read, or listen, you won’t regret it.

Very Intriguing story
Katie Speak is a wonderful character that despite seeming a little dull has a very interesting story that you will soon uncover. I'm left wanting more stories about her.
