About this listen

A BRAND-NEW totally addictive psychological thriller with a twist you won’t see coming.

Just when I thought I’d got my life back together, a handsome stranger moves in across the street. He says he lost his wife six months ago. He says he’s here for a fresh start. But I think he might be a killer.

Three months ago, a serial killer tore through our perfect little community. But he’s dead now, and I’m doing my best to pretend everything’s normal — pot roasts, Pilates, and that my stepson TJ didn’t upend our lives the minute he arrived.

That was before the new neighbour moved in.

Damian Mankiewicz is a good-looking, friendly, charming widower. But there’s something off about him. The box in his hallway marked Do Not Open. The house he bought — the one where a girl was found murdered. And the way he always seems to be watching.

When a local teenager goes missing, the whispers start all over again. About TJ. About me. About what really happened here.

I’ve already been through hell once. I’m not doing it again. If the widower is hiding something, I’ll find out — before someone else disappears for good.

A jaw-dropping thriller about secrets, suspicion, and the dark side of suburbia. Welcome to The Estates.

Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst, Valerie Keogh and T.M. Logan.

This is the second book but it ends just before it gets interesting and the epilogue sets up the next instalment. The story is ok, the characters are shallow but likeable. The writing is packed with repetition to pad it out, almost like an episode recap. I’m interested to know the conclusion, and seeing how long the author can drag it out. I wouldn’t use a credit on it.

Wildly unrealistic, over explained and featuring really annoying and unlikeable idiotic characters - only myself to blame as listened to the first book! But..an easy quite entertaining free listen!

Got it because it was included. Weak story, poor main characters. Kept going in the hope it would get better. It didn’t.

Good thing it was free
