What to expect

Don't miss the BRAND NEW psychological thriller from the author of the TOP 10 BESTSELLER The Sleepover. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Claire McGowan and Lisa Jewell! 📚

She knows what she saw. But can she prove it? 👀

After my relationship breaks down, I agree to house-sit my brother Dexter's posh apartment whilst he’s out of the country. It will give me some much needed headspace.

Sitting on the balcony one sweltering summer's evening in the midst of a power cut, I'm given a secret window into the lives of the residents in the opposite building, and I see more than I should.

I'm drawn to a man in the penthouse and watch him closely and when a striking woman joins him on the balcony, I can’t tear my eyes away.

The following weekend a woman matching her exact description is reported missing. She’s not been seen since that fateful night. When I go to the police, the man in the penthouse has a cast-iron alibi and denies she was ever there...

I know what I saw and I can’t let it go. The deeper I dig, the more dangerous things become.

Someone is watching me too. Just how much can I trust my neighbours?
