What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Leah is in love. It should be the happiest summer of her life, but she can't help feeling lonely with Jake's attention divided between her, his ex-wife and his young son. As insomnia sets in, the walls of their new basement flat feel as if they're closing in around her.
Until she meets her upstairs neighbour, Anton, who has recently moved back in after a long absence from the street. He's a sympathetic ear when Jake can't be, and even though others on the street seem strangely hostile towards him, Leah soon comes to rely on Anton and their secret conversations in the night.
Leah has no idea that fifteen years before, Anton was convicted of killing his wife. A wife who looked a little bit like Leah. He has always said he didn't do it.
Is Leah his redemption? Or is she befriending a killer intent on luring her closer and closer?

Critics Review
An intense drama. Perry has come up with a clever novel in which everyone is hiding something, and keeps the reader guessing
This slippery thriller conjures an intense sense of claustrophobia, delivering some deftly crafted surprises
Reminiscent of Du Maurier’s Rebecca . . . Intriguing, compelling and shocking, Perry pulls you into a web of deceit that will enthralled and entertain you. I loved it.
Slick, engrossing, twisted and addictive. Domestic crime drama at its best. Highly recommended
Nicely paced and twisty, this welcome addition to the new trend of ‘noxious neighbours’ fiction will have you questioning what really goes on behind closed doors
Delightfully slippery thriller. It expertly conjures up an intense sense of claustrophobia as well as delivering some deftly crafted surprises
Praise for Karen Perry
Like Gone Girl . . . it’s the most gripping thing I’ve read for ages
A brilliant binge-read thriller with a real roller coaster of an ending
Original and impressively contemporary with an excellent final twist
