Summary

Freya loves her new home on a quiet suburban street. And her beautiful neighbor, Emily, is everything she’s ever wanted in a best friend. Finally, she has somebody to share her secrets with over a glass of wine. But as Freya watches her new friend setting the table for dinner one evening, she sees something shocking that makes her think that Emily’s life might not be as perfect as it seems. Days later, Emily and her daughter vanish....

When you meet Emily’s husband, you will think you know what he’s hiding.

You will ask yourself whether Emily and Freya really did meet by chance.

You will think you know what happened to Emily and her little girl the night they went missing.

But when you discover the truth, it will shake you to your core and you will lie awake at night wondering if you can ever really trust the people in the house next door....

Fans of Claire McGowan, Shalini Boland and Lisa Jewell will love the gripping tension and unexpected twists of The New Home. Once you start, you’ll be hooked!

Silly ending

This started off quite well, but I felt the story was missing a big chunk in terms of the build up of the friendship between Emily and Freya.
The ending was just silly and totally unbelievable. I know it’s fiction, but it was annoying. I won’t spoil the plot for others in explaining why.
The narrator was very good.

I really liked this book

This book was easy to follow and interesting to listen to. It is the first book by this author and I've just downloaded another called knock knock. I liked the narration too.

Loads of Twists and Turns

Thrilling book. Loved the narrator. I'm usually good at guessing where the story is going but this book had me guessing and questioning everything. Brilliant read.

Ooooh, I definitely enjoyed this one!

Twists and turns throughout. I thought I knew who it was. then it wasn't, and I'd think it to be someone else ! An easy listening book on audible. All aspects 10/10 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Unoriginal

The narrator gives a good performance but the characters lack depth and the plot whilst trying very (too) hard to create twists is actually disappointingly predictable. Save your credit for something else!
