DISCOVER THE MOST UNPUTDOWNABLE PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER OF THE YEAR. WINNER OF THE JOFFE BOOKS PRIZE 2023.
Love thy neighbour. Fear thy neighbour.
I thought moving to this quiet cul-de-sac was the fresh start my husband and I needed, escaping the noise of our cramped flat in Hounslow. I left India and all that was familiar for a new life with him in England.
But my husband works all hours, leaving me alone in a house that doesn’t feel like a home.
Our neighbours notice the bruises on my arms. They draw the obvious conclusions.
They seem kind, but they’re hiding something.
I just can’t shake the feeling that someone is always watching me . . . waiting.
My husband’s working late. Again. That’s when I see it.
A face pressed to the glass.
A hand waving.
It couldn’t be. Could it?
