Summary

They can’t see her, but she can see them…

Simone has a secret. She likes to stand at her bathroom window and spy on the couple downstairs through their kitchen skylight. She knows what they eat for breakfast and who they’ve got over for dinner. She knows what mood they’re in before they even step out the door. There’s nothing wrong with looking, is there?

Until one day Simone sees something through the skylight she is not expecting. Something that upsets her so much she begins to plot a terrible crime…

Way too short

Great story, but I do do agree with the other reviews that it was awfully short.

Too short, I feel robbed!

Storyline was ok, I couldn’t believe how short the book was. I can’t believe I paid £7.99 for this.

Gripping but far too short...

I loved this story but it was far too short. I’ve read most of Louise Candlish books and this was the first time I had the story read to me. It was a clever plot 🙏🏻

Disappointed

I love Louise candlish books but this one was very thin and seemed to lack all the padding and different characters that usually make her books such a great read it was far too simple

Brilliant short read by Louise Candlish

This is my second read from an author I only discovered recently and I absolutely loved it. Can’t wait to read and listen to our house next.
