About this listen

In this mesmerising thriller from the bestselling author of Keep Her Secret, a family’s fresh start is just the beginning of their nightmare…

Ethan Dove’s family has moved to a new home in a safe community, and it’s exactly the fresh start they need. Not only is his marriage to Emma hanging by a thread, but his son, Dylan, and twelve-year-old daughter, Rose, deserve to have a happy childhood.

After Rose is bullied by the boys across the road, Ethan is relieved when the woman who lives next door steps in. Fiona Smith has come into their lives at just the right moment, and when she offers to look after Rose during the school holidays, Ethan and Emma can’t believe their luck.

Which is exactly what Fiona wants. Because, far from being the perfect neighbour, Fiona is the last person you should trust with your child. With a vicious plot for revenge, Fiona is happy to train Rose to be her accomplice, especially when she begins to suspect that Rose might not be as innocent as she appears…

The Psychopath Next Door is a gripping and twisted psychological suspense thriller set in the terrifying world of Mark Edwards’s bestselling The Magpies universe.

wow really uncomfortable, brilliant, unable to put down story book.
up to Mark Edwards normal standard of brilliance.
Twists and turns along the way as we get good insight into the characters that had me gripped from the front cover

They do say, ‘Revenge is a dish best served cold’!

As Fiona Smith settles into her new home, it doesn't take her long to befriend her next door neighbours. With a fragile marriage, Ethan and Emma appear to be walking around each other on eggshells, leaving a large gap for Fiona to fill. As the reader learns more about Fiona’s past and just how far she will go for revenge, nothing can prepare you for the rollercoaster ride Edwards takes you.
Expect twists and turns galore. It's a little too silly for my liking, but it's an easy read.

4/5
